Braga vs Benfica Prediction & Betting Tips

Saturday | 17:00 UTC | Estadio Municipal de Braga | Primeira Liga

It’s all to play for on the final day of the Primeira Liga season as Benfica travel to Braga needing a win to give themselves a shot at reclaiming the league title. While both teams are already assured of European qualification, the stakes remain high, especially for the visitors.

Benfica to Win Final Day Title Chase

Roger Schmidt’s Benfica head into Saturday level on points with Sporting Lisbon at the top of the table, knowing they must win and hope their rivals drop points in order to snatch the title at the final hurdle. While the destiny of the trophy may be out of their hands, Benfica have shown title-winning form, particularly on the road.

The Eagles have won 7 straight away games in the league, including solid performances at tough grounds like Rio Ave, Estoril, and Famalicao. They’ve also dominated Braga in recent meetings, winning 6 of their last 7 encounters, and they’ll arrive at the Estadio Municipal confident of doing their part in the title chase.

Braga vs Benfica Prediction

For Braga, the final day could still offer a dramatic finish, though it’s a long shot. The hosts need Porto to lose and a seven-goal swing in goal difference to leapfrog them into third. That would be enough to secure a direct Europa League group stage berth, but realistically, Braga are focused on maintaining their solid fourth-place finish.

Last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at Casa Pia was a blow, and their recent record against Benfica does little to inspire confidence. Still, they’ve won 12 of their 16 home matches this season, and Artur Jorge’s side won’t go down without a fight.

Braga vs Benfica Predictions & Tips

Benfica are 1.59 favourites to win this one, with Braga out at 5.00 and the draw priced at 4.10. Given the visitors’ strong away form and motivation, that price looks more than fair.

A repeat of their most recent away result, a 2-1 win, is priced at 7.75 and looks like a decent correct score option. Benfica have conceded in 6 of their last 7 away matches, and Braga has enough quality to get on the scoresheet.

✅ Benfica to Win – 1.59
✅ Correct Score: Benfica 2-1 – 7.75
