At home Braga averages 2.07 goals per game, registers 4.4 shots on target and generates xG 1.36, while Estoril away averages 1.53 goals, has 3.67 shots on target and xG 1.31. Defensively the hosts have a clear advantage: Braga concedes 1.00 goal at home and keeps a clean sheet in 40% of matches, whereas Estoril away concedes 1.93 goals and has only 20% clean sheets. Form supports these figures: Braga in the last 5 matches is 3-1-1, scored 10 goals and averages 2 points per game, while Estoril has lost the last 5 matches, scored 4, conceded 10 and averages 0 points per game. Considering higher shot conversion (19% for Braga vs 13% for Estoril), greater possession (62% vs 52%) and a low percentage of matches without a goal for Braga (13% vs 40%), the most reliable scenario is a home win.
