Braga vs Sporting Prediction & Betting tips
One of the attractive games of the 5th day of the Primeira Liga de Portugal is the one that will be played in the Municipal Stadium of Braga, when Sporting de Braga receives the visit of Sporting Lisbon, in what will be the derby of the day.
Sporting de Braga:
After being eliminated from the UEFA Europa League, those led by Abel Ferreira are focused solely on their participation in Portuguese football.
So Sporting de Braga currently shares the first place in the Primeira Liga jointly with Benfica and his rival in the Sporting de Lisboa, and is determined to qualify for the Champions League next season and for his performance he is getting it.
Sporting de Braga comes from beating Tondela 2-1 in their game for the Taca da Liga and with it they have a winning streak of three consecutive victories that they are willing to keep on Monday at home.
Sporting de Lisboa:
On the other hand, those led by José Peseiro are also very excited about the good start of the season and we do not say it because they are only in the top of the standings, but they have also debuted with the right foot in their participation in UEFA Europa League after winning 2-0 to Qarabag this week, and with it the Lions also add a streak of three consecutive victories but all were at home.
Of course, the main problem that Sporting Lisbon has been having is their games away from home, which was their weak point in the previous season where they obtained only 42% of their points away from home and Benfica could not add to three.
For this season Sporting has lost key players in the summer without replacing them and for a change for this game they have ruled out one of their best players in attack with Bas Dost through injury, so we do not see getting a good result here.
