BRAGA V GALATASARAY PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Braga are 3^rd in the Primeira Liga with 17 points from 10 matches, winning 5, drawing 2 and losing 3.  They have scored 2.0 goals per game while conceding 1.4 for a total goal difference of +6.  Their recent form has been poor with 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5 games in all competitions, with an aggregate score of 6-8.  In the Champions League Braga are bottom of the group and have no chance of moving up.  They have won just one game while losing 4 and will play no part in Europe after Christmas.

Galatasaray are top of the Turkish Super Lig with 26 points from 14 matches.  They have won 7, drawn 5 and lost 2, scoring 2.07 per game against 1.29 conceded.  Their recent form has seen 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5 games with an aggregate score of 8-5.  In the Champions League Galatasaray are currently 2^nd in the group with 7 points from 5 matches.  They are battling with Cluj for second place and only have to match Cluj’s result away at Manchester United to qualify thanks to a better head to head record.

 

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Braga have nothing to play for in this game with their fate sealed at the bottom of the group.  They have a tough domestic away tie at the weekend against Academica so may rest players for this game in order to concentrate on that.  It is very important for Braga that they manage to finish in 3^rd place in the league again this season to have a chance of Champions League qualification next year.

Galatasaray have much more riding on the game with the chance of qualification to the knockout stages.  They have their destiny in their hands and a win here will guarantee they progress, but they can also make it through with a draw or defeat, depending on the result in the other game in the group in Manchester. 

With almost €20m of net spending in the summer, this is exactly the type of position Galatasaray were aiming for, to have the chance to compete with the biggest clubs in the World in the latter stages of the Champions League.

BRAGA V GALATASARAY PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Galatasaray are favourites here despite being the away side.  Considering they are the only team who have something to play for they should be the most motivated to push for a result.

Pinnacle are offering a very nice 2.35 on a Galatasaray win which is top price.

 

 

BRAGA - GALATASARAY PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The only thought that would stop me backing a Galatasaray win is that they may hear news from Manchester where Cluj are comfortably losing and choose to settle for a draw instead of pushing for a win.

To account for that we can back Galatasaray +0 in the AH market, this means if the match ends in a draw we get our stake returned.  This is also known as ‘draw no bet’

BetVictor are offering 1.67 on Galatasaray +0.

 

BRAGA - GALATASARAY PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Braga has seen an average of 2.8 goals per game over their last 5 matches while Galatasaray has seen 2.6 per game over the same period.

Despite this under 2.5 goals is a small favourite.  I think that Galatasaray will be wanting to get a goal early rather than hope for good news from Manchester and Braga have nothing to lose by attacking.

I’ll be backing over 2.5 goals at 1.96 with Betsson and so should you; especially if you can get that juicy €100 Risk Free Bet on top.
