Prediction published on 01/09/2023, 14:18  by Sridhar in Liga Portugal Predictions

The unbeaten Sporting Portugal will look to extend their winning streak when they travel to Champions League-bound Braga. This Liga Portugal matchday four in Braga will start with the hosts 11th with three points while the visitors are 2nd with nine points. Braga overcame Greek side Panathinaikos earning a ticket to the group stages of the Champions League. The joy of that was short-lived as the hosts were drawn alongside Real Madrid, Napoli and Union Berlin in a tough Group C. That made it four competitive wins in a row although their record in the league has been mixed – one win and one loss. Braga lost their previous league game played here but have won five straight such matches prior to that loss.

Sporting are one of the three teams to be on nine points at the start of this round. Interestingly, all three have been close encounters with all three seeing them notch a win via a single-goal margin. Paulinho has been the star of the show for the visitors having scored their last four league goals! The other two were scored by Viktor Gyokeres, so Sporting will be eager to show that they aren’t a two-trick pony. The start is crucial as Sporting have now gone 17 league matches without a loss – drawing three and winning 14. This sequence included winning their last five away league games in a row raising prospects of another big game for the visitors.
