Contents
Draw or Braga Win
Braga have had more than a week to prepare for this upcoming match. The team has also been able to make some great signings in the transfer market. Manager Artur Jorge has also been able to welcome some key players like Simon Banza back to the squad. Sporting CP should be able to provide a big threat but there may be some tiredness within the team. This prediction would go with a double chance.
Total goals over 2.5
This prediction sees a lot of value in backing more than 2.5 goals. This is a fixture which has produced a ton of goals in the past. The last six games between these two clubs have provided more than 20 goals in total. On the recent form front, both teams come into the game after having scored 12 goals in the last six matches. Even though both defences have also been on top, this prediction would back more than 2.5 goals.
Both teams to score – yes
Braga have been entertaining in the last few matches but they have witnessed plenty of goals of late. There have been just one clean sheet for the team in the last three matches and more would have been expected given the quality of the opposition. Sporting CP are likely to do much better.
Sporting CP vs Braga: Match Preview and Team News
Sporting CP
Sporting CP have lost some key players in the January transfer window but more worrying would be the loss to Porto in the Taca da Liga final. Anymore dropped points in the league would be disastrous for Sporting CP who already find themselves a whopping eight points behind Braga. Daniel Bragança and Luís Neto are out injured while Paulinho is suspended.
Braga
Braga come into the match still visit a great opportunity to close the gap on Benfica at the top. The club are seven points behind Benfica with a game in hand. For the upcoming fixture, manager Artur Jorge may be without Sikou Niakate, who is doubtful with an injury.
