Benfica vs. Braga – Prediction and Betting Tips | Jan 10, 2024
On the evening of January 10, 2024, the Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica will be ablaze with excitement as two Portuguese footballing giants, Benfica and Braga, lock horns in a crucial Taca de Portugal last-16 tie. This matchup is more than just a game; it’s a chance for Benfica, the reigning Primeira Liga champions, to avenge their heartbreaking penalty loss to Braga in last year’s quarter-finals.
The Formidable Eagles
Benfica, under the astute leadership of Roger Schmidt, have been in scintillating form. Their impressive run includes five consecutive wins and an unbeaten streak spanning 10 matches across all competitions. With Rafa Silva’s sensational goal tally and the contributions from Orkun Kokcu and Peter Musa, Benfica’s offence looks unstoppable. However, they face the challenge of compensating for the absence of key players like Juan Bernat and David Neres due to injuries. The team will rely heavily on its stalwarts, Antonio Silva and Nicolas Otamendi, in defence, while new signing Marcos Leonardo could provide fresh impetus upfront.

Braga’s Resilience
On the other side, Artur Jorge’s Braga cannot be underestimated. Despite a recent draw against Vitoria de Guimaraes, Braga has been consistent in their performance, boasting the highest goal tally in the league. The absence of Simon Banza and Sikou Niakate, away on international duty, might impact their lineup, but veterans like Jose Fonte and youngsters like Serdar Saatci are ready to step up. Braga’s strength lies in their adaptability and the attacking prowess of players like Abel Ruiz and Andre Horta.
Head-to-Head and Predictions
Looking at the recent head-to-head record, Benfica has had the upper hand, but Braga’s resilience, especially in crucial matches, makes this encounter unpredictable. Goal.mu/Mauri.bet predicts a closely fought battle, likely ending in a 2-1 victory for Benfica odds at 8.50 bet365. Both teams are known for their attacking flair, so betting markets like ‘Both Teams to Score’ and ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ seem promising.
