A fourth successive Taca da Liga final appearance is within reach for Sporting Portugal, but they need to overcome Braga in the semis. This match will be played at the neutral venue of Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa on Tuesday. The winner of this match will face the winner of the second semi between Benfica and Estoril at the same venue. Braga have won this title two times and on two other occasions reached the finals. Their last title was in 2020 while their last final appearance was in 2021. Replicating that would need them to be at their best and reverse a recent form that has been underwhelming. Braga won just three of their last eight matches in all competitions, losing four and drawing one. They advanced to the semis after topping Group A via goal difference from Casa Pia, after picking up four points in two games.
Sporting had a clearer route than their counterparts, topping Group C over Farense and Tondela, winning those matches by 4-2 and 2-1 respectively. In fact, they are in some cracking form too, ahead of this match, giving a lot of confidence. They won eight competitive matches in a row, scoring at least two goals each time and at least three in the last four. That said, they drew 1-1 against Braga in the only meeting they had this season, so Sporting wouldn’t take their opponents lightly. This is a competition they have enjoyed in the recent years, winning in 2021 and 2022, while reaching the final in 2023.
