Alverca started the new season with a defeat against Moreirense, but their performance was not disappointing - on the contrary, the team showed fighting spirit and stable play, with only the lack of accuracy in the finishing phase costing them points. At home, the team is traditionally more confident, suggesting that they will try to close the spaces against the higher-class opponent.
Braga facing organized resistanceThe guests started the campaign with a convincing victory over Tondela and look in excellent form, as they are on a positive results streak. However, it has already been seen that when Braga face a well-organized defensive opponent, their attack does not always manage to unfold. Especially against a team like Alverca, who show discipline and patience at home, the task may turn out to be more difficult than expected.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsAlthough Braga are favorites, the expectations are for a more closed match, in which the hosts will try to limit the chances in front of their own goal. The combination of Alverca's organized defense and Braga's difficulties in such matches leans towards a prediction of under 2.5 goals.
