Sporting host Braga on Matchday nineteen of the Portuguese Primeira Liga at the Estadio Jose Alvalade. The hosts are placed second in the league standings with forty-seven points from their eighteen games while Braga are at fourth with thirty-two points on board. While Sporting are chasing league leaders Porto for the title, Braga will be hoping to get through to the Europa League by the end of the season. Sporting have been consistently winning matches and come into the game with a 2-0 win over Vizela. They have won seven out of their last eight matches with the only aberration of a defeat to Santa Clara in an away game. Sporting have been a force to be reckoned with at home and are thus on a ten-game winning streak.

Braga have not had a very consistent run of form throughout their league campaign. They come into the game with a 1-0 defeat to Maritimo and are now on a two-game winless run. They have won just two out of their last eight matches. Braga have struggled to pick up points in away fixtures and have won just once in their last six away matches, making it highly unlikely that they will be able to get away with any point out of the trip to Lisbon. In addition to that, it must be noted that Braga have lost each and every game to Sporting in the last five meetings between the two teams.
