RETROSPECT:
The teams have faced each other 157 times so far with Sporting being completely dominant in the confrontation, the Lions won 97 times against 36 Braguistas victories, and there were still 24 draws. In the meetings held in Lisbon, at Sporting's home, there were 75 meetings, with the Alvalade team winning 59 matches against only eight of the Warriors of the Minho, and there were also eight draws.
VITINHA:
Who lives a great phase with the Braga is striker Vitinha. That's because the player has seven goals for Braga in the competition, and comes from two games in a row netting. Thus, even playing away from home and with a goal expectancy, Vitinha is a good name for a guess to score at any time.
SPORTING:
The last time Sporting met Braga was precisely for the Portuguese League Cup and at the José Alvalade stadium. The Lion promoted a massacre. In a duel for the quarterfinals of the competition, they thrashed Braga 5-0. It gave the impression that, if he wanted, he could have done even more. They built the score still in the first half and, in the last stage, took their foot off the gas. After all, a place in the semifinals was guaranteed.
This happened on December 19. The decisive stage of the Portuguese League Cup took place last week in Leiria. In the semifinals, Sporting confirmed their favoritism by beating Arouca, 2-1, and keeping their 100% record. However, the cup ended up in Porto's hands. On Saturday, January 28, they were defeated 2-0.
BRAGA:
The loss to Sporting in the quarterfinals of the Portuguese League Cup was a point out of the curve in the excellent campaign that Braga is making in the 2022/2023 season. It interrupted a five-game winning streak. After the encounter, the team won its next five duels. The most recent of them with much more difficulty than one might expect.
On the last day of the first round of the Portuguese Championship, Braga scored 2-1 at bottom-placed Paços de Ferreira at the Capital do Móvel stadium. The winning goal was scored only in the 53rd minute of the long overtime period of the final phase. Banza was responsible for putting the ball in the back of the net after receiving pass from Djalo.
