The match will be broadcast live on DAZN Deutsch and Sport TV1 Portugal from the Estádio da Mota. Estoril have quietly turned their home ground into a lively stage, while Braga arrive riding strong momentum. In this article, you will find Soccer Stats Predictions from the XpertStats team, shaped by trends that hint at another open night of football.

Braga away fixtures see Over 2.5 goals landing 71% of the time.
Discipline trends point to more than 3.5 cards in most matches for both sides.

Estoril at home rarely keep things calm. They score 1.71 goals per match but concede almost as many, with 1.57 allowed on average. That push and pull explains why their home games hit 3.29 total goals per match. Over 1.5 goals lands in 71% of those fixtures, and BTTS also shows up 71% of the time. The hosts like to play on the front foot, sometimes a little too bravely. Can they stay sharp defensively without losing their attacking edge?

Braga head coach Carlos Vicens played down fixture congestion ahead of Friday’s Primeira Liga trip to Estoril, insisting mentality outweighs fatigue. While admitting accumulated tiredness after a demanding schedule, Vicens stressed elite players must adapt and maintain recovery standards. With Braga on a strong winning run and unbeaten in seven matches, the coach expects a tough test but believes his side are in one of their best phases.

Both Teams to Score @1.83
Both Teams to Score stands out because neither side leans toward caution. Estoril’s home matches average 3.29 total goals, a clear sign of open football. They score regularly but leave gaps, conceding in most home fixtures. Braga are comfortable in that kind of game. Their away scoring average of 2 goals shows they rarely struggle to create chances on the road. At the same time, conceding 1 goal per away match keeps opponents interested. The shared 71% BTTS rate for both teams is not coincidence, it reflects similar match dynamics. One pushes, the other responds. Even if Braga control possession, Estoril have enough attacking intent to strike back. It is hard to see either side keeping a clean sheet without changing their usual approach, and there is little in the numbers to suggest that shift is coming here.
