Benfica vs Braga – Benfica hosts Braga at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon on 9th August, Thursday in their first Primeira Liga match of the season.
Benfica are the defending champions after they won the Primeira Liga last season with eighty-two points, finishing six points ahead of the second-placed Porto. Braga were fifth in the league standings and have secured qualification to the UEFA Europa League.
Benfica have lost two of their key players – Victor Lindelof and Nelson Semedo this summer, but will still be a force to reckon with and are one of the pre-season favorites.

“With regard to Braga, I have the conviction that from what I have seen and know from their players, as well as from the quality of their coach and structure, that we will have a difficult challenge against a good team, a strong team that started well.
Our thirst to win is very visible in the eyes of everyone – when the competitive bug enters in our head, everything is different. We know that we will have more than 65 thousand people. It is cause for satisfaction and demand. It carries to us this ambition to win the championship which is what we want.”

Motivated teams after winning five matches in a row or they have maintained a ten-match unbeaten run. The bookmakers label them as favourites for a reason.
Teams in crisis after five consecutive defeats or they did not win their last ten football matches. You should avoid betting on these underdogs.

Before I joined soccerpunter, I had a huge addiction to betting and would lose my hard earned money in expectation of getting allot, I had little knowledge about making predictions based on research and wouldn't backtrack my recent bets cause I was only using local betting of issuing receipts, whc u could tear after a loss,..
But ever since I joined this soccerpunter family, all that is history and I don't lose any money, I have rather learnt to enjoy what was a "paid addiction" to a virtual reality which is costless. And due to that, am slowly learning the effects of gambling.
Thanks u soccer punter.
