Match preview: Sporting CP vs Braga

The last meeting between these two teams in this league saw Sporting CP prevail with a score of 2-4 away from home on 10-11-2024. Historical performance at this venue favours the home side, having won three and lost one of their last four encounters here. In fact, during the most recent match at this stadium on 11-02-2024, Sporting CP achieved a comprehensive 5-0 victory, with goals coming from Nuno Santos (85′), Francisco Trincão (8′), Daniel Bragança (73′), Eduardo Quaresma (18′), and Viktor Gyökeres (71′).
Team analysis: Sporting CP
Currently sitting at the top of the league with 65 points from 20 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses, Sporting CP is in excellent form. Their previous match saw a comfortable away victory against the amateur side with a score of 0-3, following a home win against Famalicão (3-1). The team arrives at this clash after a solid home win over Rio Ave (2-0). In the league, Sporting has garnered 25 points from a possible 30 in their last ten home matches, consisting of 8 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss.
They have been particularly dominant at home, remaining unbeaten in their last 7 league games on home turf. Although their defence has shown some vulnerabilities, conceding in 7 of their last 10 matches, their attack remains potent, netting at least once in every match during this run. Sporting often strikes first, having opened the scoring in 23 of their last 27 league games, maintaining the lead in 19 of those matches until the full time whistle. A notable period to watch out for is between the 31st and 45th minutes, during which they have conceded 6 of their 10 goals in their last 13 home games.
The Sporting team is riding high on form once again. Since their win against Estoril (3-1), the lions have only tasted victory, achieving 5 consecutive wins, comprising 4 league matches and 1 Portuguese Cup fixture, the latest victory over Rio Ave (2-0). This was their second consecutive match without conceding a goal, showcasing the growing confidence within the squad managed by Rui Borges. Tied on points with Benfica, every point they drop from now on will weigh heavily in the title race. This round might be pivotal for Sporting, especially with Benfica set for a challenging away match at FC Porto.
Team analysis: Braga
Currently placed 4th with 56 points, Braga has achieved 17 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses so far. Their penultimate match resulted in a tight 0-1 away victory against Farense, and their latest fixture was a 2-1 home win against Arouca. In the league, Braga has amassed 22 points out of a possible 30 in their last 10 away games, demonstrating strong away form with 7 wins, 1 draw, and only 2 losses. Historically, the most common scoreline at halftime in their away fixtures has been 0-0 (7 out of 13 games). Their defensive resilience is commendable, having conceded goals in only 3 of their last 10 matchups, while their attack has been consistently scoring in 9 of those games. Moreover, there has been a tendency for fewer goals in their away matches, with 6 of the last 13 games ending with under 1.5 goals. Only once in 27 games have they turned around a deficit after conceding the first goal; however, they have shown particular strength, scoring 6 of their 17 goals in the final 15 minutes (76′-90′) of their last 13 away fixtures.
Braga, like Sporting, cannot afford to drop any points, especially as they are in direct contention with FC Porto, tied on points in the league rankings. With three consecutive wins behind them, Braga enters Alvalade hoping to achieve a fourth successive victory. As the second best performing team away from home with 29 points, they trail Sporting by just 2 points, recording 9 wins, 2 draws, and only 2 losses. Additionally, Braga has shown an impressive ability to score in 90% of their last 10 away games, posing a genuine threat to Sporting and potentially complicating the lions’ aspirations.
