Sporting CP’s Liga Portugal title charge faces a tough test on Matchday 25 when they travel to face SC Braga. Of the only five games Leões didn't win this season, one was thanks to Braga, who stole an away point. Can the reigning champions keep the pressure on Porto with a win here? Let's get into our match prediction.
Despite being second, Lisbon is still having an outstanding season. They've lost one game while winning 19 of the other 23. Notably, Sporting currently holds the second-longest unbeaten streak in the league, having gone 20 straight games without tasting defeat.
They've just capped that run with a 3-0 win over Estoril, marking three straight victories without conceding a goal. That's just the kind of form Leões need as they travel to a Braga side that's held them to back-to-back stalemates. But Os Arsenalistas themselves are soaring after having won four of their last five league games, beating Vitoria and Nacional in their latest outings.
For Braga, cementing their position in 4th is the priority as Gil Vicente closes in on Os Arsenalistas in the final chapter of this season. And that's something they're just as capable of doing as Sporting, especially after winning six of their last seven home league games without defeat.

Our SC Braga vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction
It's hard to imagine either team walking away with a clean sheet in this bout. Just as Leões CP seek all three points, Braga is just as desperate to secure the final European spot. Incentives aside, both teams' scoring form entering this game suggests end-to-end action.
What's more, despite Sporting's rock-solid defence, they've allowed goals in six of their last seven away games, showing some volatility on the road that Os Arsenalistas should capitalise on. Hence, our SC Braga vs Sporting Lisbon prediction is BTTS.
