Benfica have won 10 of their 13 away league games in 2021-22.
Both teams have scored in seven of the last ten Benfica away league games.
Braga have lost eight of their last nine home league contests with Benfica, including six in a row.
Benfica usually do the business in Braga

Benfica, as long as they aren’t completely distracted by their upcoming Champions League quarter-final clash, should collect their usual away win against Sporting Braga on Friday night.

Braga have been so inept in these clashes, since their last home league win over the Reds back in 2014, that some cynics have even wondered if the close relationship the two clubs appear to have forged over transfers has had a knock-on effect to the actual on-pitch battles.

The Arsenalistas aren’t in great domestic home form right now with just two wins in their last six at Estadio Municipal – those coming against mid-table and relegation-threatened opposition. Carlos Carvalhal’s side haven’t won against a top six team at home yet this season and were beaten 1-0 by Gil Vicente in their last home clash before the international break.

Both teams to score can boost the odds

Benfica, by contrast, are enjoying their best run of form since August with six wins and three draws in their last nine games. Their away form has not been an issue this season so we’re quite surprised to see the Eagles priced up at odds against here. Midfielder Adel Taarabt is the only player unavailable due to injury, not counting long-term casualties Rodrigo Pinho and Lucas Veríssimo, and they have nobody suspended for the trip north.

It may be worth taking Benfica to win this with both teams to score – as half of their away wins in the Primeira this term have seen both teams register. BTTS has landed in seven of the last ten Benfica away league games while Braga have found the back of the net in almost 65% of their home games too.

A 2-1 win for the Eagles is the preferred correct score play here as Nelson Verissimo’s men have hit multiple away goals in six of thei

本菲卡在2021-22赛季赢得了13场客场比赛中的10场。
两队在本菲卡最近十场客场比赛中都有七场进球。
在与本菲卡的最后九场主场比赛中，布拉加输掉了八场，包括六场连胜。
本菲卡通常在布拉加做生意

本菲卡，只要他们没有被即将到来的欧冠四分之一决赛的比赛完全分心，应该会在周五晚上赢得和布拉加体育一样的客场胜利。

自从布拉加在2014年主场战胜红军以来，他们在这些冲突中表现得如此的无能，以至于一些愤世嫉俗的人甚至怀疑两家俱乐部在转会上建立的密切关系是否对实际的球场战斗产生了连锁反应。

阿森纳目前的主场状态并不好，在过去的六场比赛中，他们只赢得了两场胜利——这两场比赛的对手都在积分榜中游，并且面临降级的威胁。卡洛斯·卡瓦哈尔的球队本赛季还没有在主场战胜过前六名的球队，在国际比赛前的最后一场主场比赛中，他们被吉尔·维森特1-0击败。

两队得分都能提高胜算

相比之下，本菲卡正享受着自8月以来最好的状态，他们在过去的9场比赛中取得了6胜3平。他们的客场状态本赛季并不是一个问题，所以我们很惊讶看到老鹰队在这里被提价。中场塔拉巴特是唯一一名因伤缺阵的球员，这还不包括长期受伤的罗德里戈·皮诺霍和卢卡斯Veríssimo，他们也没有因为北上而停赛的球员。

也许值得让本菲卡赢得这场比赛，两支球队都有进球——因为他们在本赛季的客场比赛中有一半的胜利都是两支球队都注册的。BTTS在过去十场本菲卡的客场比赛中有七场出场，而布拉加在主场的比赛中也有近65%的进球。

2-1的胜利对于老鹰队来说是最正确的得分方式，因为尼尔森-维尔西莫的球队已经在其中的6场比赛中打进了多个客场进球
