Gameweek two in the Taca da Liga will see Sporting Braga taking on Casa Pia on Wednesday evening. This is the first game that the hosts will be playing in this year’s competition. Braga have made a solid start to the season and are currently in fifth place in the Primeira Liga. They have managed 17 points in nine matches and are just two points behind Vitoria Guimaraes in fourth place. The Arsenalists come into this match off the back of a 3-3 draw against Gil Vicente last weekend and a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek. At home, Braga has been very good domestically but less so in Europe. In home league games, the hosts are unbeaten in their last three. The Archbishops won their last two matches against this opponent, both by a 1-0 scoreline. They are the favourites in this match, according to the bookmakers. 

Meanwhile, Casa Pia have made a mixed start to the 2023-24 season. They are currently 12th in the Primeira Liga with ten points after the first nine games. The Casapianos secured a point from their last match, holding Benfica to a 1-1 draw on the road. However, that result also extended their winless run in the league to four matches. The visitor's major issue this season has been their goal-scoring form. They have only found the net on eight occasions in nine league games, which is the lowest tally of any team in the top flight. Casa Pia have won two, drawn two, and lost one of their last five away games, which included their 2-0 win over Rabo Peixe in the last round.
