Does it work? Since July 2025, our numbers have been 7% closer to the real goals than just using the league average.

Rio Ave vs Sporting Braga: the stats that stand out
Liga Portugal
Where each side is most unusual compared with the rest of the league: clean sheets, scoring first, wins as favourites and more.
How to read it
the teamleague averageshare of games, 0 to 100%Rio Ave: always chasing and shot-shy · Sporting Braga: flop as favourites
9/10Shot-shy
6/10Rio Ave failed to score in 6 of their last 10 (league 28%).
Flop as favourites
3/9Sporting Braga won only 3 of 9 as favourites (league 55%).
Calculated by MyGameOdds
How it works
We compare each team's last 10 games in this competition with how often the same thing happens across the whole league (last 12 months). A fact only shows when the team is noticeably different from a typical team. For example, if teams here score first in half their games, a team needs 7 or more out of 10 (or 3 or fewer). We show up to three facts, the most unusual first, never two about the same thing. They describe what happened, not a forecast.
How we measure →Rio Ave vs Sporting Braga: attack vs defence
Liga Portugal
Both sides' chances created and allowed a game, next to the rest of the league, measured with our own xG.
How to read it
other Liga Portugal teamsleague averagelast 10 games↑ Fewer chances allowed (xGA a game)
More chances created (xG a game) →
- Rio Ave: weak attack, weak defence (0.86 xG, 1.86 xGA a game)
- Sporting Braga: good attack, good defence (1.51 xG, 0.92 xGA)
Calculated by MyGameOdds · xG: our own model
How it works
xG is our estimate of how many goals a team's chances were worth, from the shots in each match; xGA is the same for the chances it allowed. The dashed lines are the average of the teams shown. A team close to a line is about average. Teams with fewer than 5 games here aren't in the chart yet.

Strength rank: Rio Ave 17th of 18 · Sporting Braga 4th of 18
Calculated by MyGameOdds · xG: our own model
How it works
For each of a team's last 10 games, we work out how many points a team usually gets from a game with those chances (xG) for and against, add them up and compare with the points it actually got. We do the same for goals. Strong teams often get a bit more than their chances suggest, so we compare each team with sides of similar strength in this league. That way nobody is flagged just for being good.
We flag a team when the gap is 4 points or more (or 3 goals or more). If some games have no xG data, we use the ones that do.
Does it mean anything? 85% of teams 4+ points ahead of their chances got fewer points in their next 10 games, and 83% of teams 4+ points behind got more. Bookmakers already expect these gaps to even out, so it's a fan's read, not a betting edge.
Strength rank: we rank this season's 18 teams by how much better their attack is than their defence, using chances (xG), the odds and goals. Does it work? Over the first half of a season, this rank predicted the second half better than the league table did.

Calculated by MyGameOdds
How it works
For each team we take its last 10 games in this competition from the past 12 months (fewer if it hasn't played 10) and count how many went over 2.5 goals and how many had both teams scoring. The league figure uses all 308 games played here in the last 12 months.
How we measure →Rio Ave vs Sporting Braga corners, cards and goal times
Liga Portugal
Each side's corners and cards a game, and when it scores and concedes, from its recent league games.
How to read it

- Cards: league 2.4
- Goals before half-time: league 43%
- Goals after 75': league 21%
Calculated by MyGameOdds
How it works
We use each team's last 10 games here. Corners and cards only count games where those stats were recorded, and goal times only count games with reliable goal minutes, so some teams have fewer than 10. We compare with the whole league over the last 12 months.
