How to Watch Benfica vs Braga

Joe Vaughan 02 Jan 2025

Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Sporting left Benfica in third place, dealing them a huge blow in a tight race for the Primeira Liga title.

The Eagles return to action for the first time in 2025 seeking a return to winning ways against an inconsistent Braga side, with all the action available to stream on bet365.

Benfica went into last weekend’s action top of the standings, but their Lisbon Derby defeat left them two points shy of both Sporting and Porto. 

All three sides have lost just twice in their first 16 games, meaning opportunities to make up ground are few and far between.

Benfica’s next league meeting with one of their title rivals is in April, so they need to build up some momentum and stay in the hunt.

The Eagles can rely on home comforts early in the New Year, with four of their next five clashes coming at the Estadio da Luz.

What Time Does Benfica vs Braga Start?

Benfica vs Braga Form Guide and Head-to-Head Stats

Benfica have won eight from eight on home turf in the Primeira Liga, while Braga have lost their previous four visits to this ground.

The visitors have struggled to keep pace with the Primeira Liga’s elite, finding themselves fifth at the turn of the year.

They’re 10 points shy of Benfica and trailing surprise package Santa Clara in the race for Europe.

Braga enter 2025 with just one win from their previous five across all competitions and any hope they have of chasing down Benfica for the final Champions League spot is on the line this weekend.

However, the away side have struggled in big games this season, losing four of five clashes with the top seven.

Benfica vs Braga Prediction

Given Braga’s poor record against the big teams this season, we anticipate Benfica coming away from this contest with all the spoils and almost no concerns towards their title charge.
