Team News

Braga
Sporting
  • Bruma scored the winner against Panathinaikos and will likely be full of confidence here.
  • Niakhaté left injured last time around and is a doubt for Sunday, which gives Serdar a chance to start.
  • Abel Ruiz will likely get the nod over Banza upfront.
  • Other than St. Juste, Sporting CP will be in full force here.
  • Iván Fresneda was signed in midweek but isn't likely to make his debut with the new club.
  • Paulinho scored in each of their last three appearences and will be full of beans.

Prediction

  • SC Braga got qualified into the UEFA Champions League group stage after beating Panathinaikos in Greece and will be boosted from that result. They've rested during the weekend, and might not be as fatigued as it would be expected if that happened.
  • Sporting CP won their first three matches in the league, but they were far from convincing in either one of them as they only got a narrow win in each of those matches. They will need to improve if they want to beat one of their direct rivals.
  • The last time both sides squared against each other in Braga, they delivered an amazing show that ended 3-3. Given both sides attacking display, a similar result would not be a surprise.
