by Daniel Ngulu | in Liga Portugal Predictions
Sporting Lisbon and Sporting Braga had contrasting outings in Europe but will converge in Primeira Liga on Sunday, eyeing three points. Sporting will host Braga, looking to keep in touch with league leaders Porto as Braga goes for a first league win in six. We have a prediction for the match below.
Sporting are coming from a 2-1 defeat to Napoli in the Champions League. That marked their third defeat in 10 matches so far in the season. The Portuguese champions have won all the rest of the games.
That will form the basis of their confidence coming here. With Porto facing Benfica on the same day, Sporting will hope to finish this weekend on top.
Braga haven't been an easy opponent for Sporting over the past few meetings. The last time they visited Sporting, they forced a 1-1 draw.
Following a tough start to their domestic campaign, it remains to be seen if they can pull another tough match on Sporting. The visitors are coming from a second win in the Europe League, after beating Celtic 2-0 away from home.
They have failed to replicate such form in domestic action and arrive for this match winless in the last five Primeira Liga outings.
