Sporting Braga and Sporting CP meet so often that they know each other's game inside out, yet in the last six meetings neither side has managed a convincing win. Most ended in shared points, and this time both arrive with only a few points separating them in the table, making a draw carry as much weight as a comfortable result. Sporting Braga have come through their last five matches without much trouble, taking wins in the majority and closing with a goalless share of the points. Their defence at home is stubborn enough, but the attack does not fire often, needing to wait for the right moment rather than camping in the opposition half all game. Sporting CP, meanwhile, are still unbeaten in the league and clearly score more, yet their last two matches produced only draws, and an attack that once flowed smoothly is starting to stutter. This game is likely to see Sporting CP with more of the ball and pushing play up towards the edge of Sporting Braga's box, where the hosts will sit in a compact block and wait to counter. If the home side do not concede early, the game will stretch out further and tends to finish with a result that is not far apart. The thing to watch from kick-off is how long Sporting Braga can cope with Sporting CP's sustained attacking phases.
