by Ian John in Liga Portugal Predictions
Primeira Liga leaders Sporting Lisbon host fourth-placed SC Braga in the second of the weekend’s big top four clashes in Portugal. The Green and Whites have hung onto top spot since Ruben Amorim’s departure for Manchester United earlier this season but they face a tricky test against the Archbishops, who also come into this game in good form. So who will we back in our prediction for this critical match?
With just two defeats this season, Sporting Lisbon have amassed 65 points from their 27 games and lead Benfica on goal difference (+50 to +43) in the race for the title. However, with seven games remaining, SC Braga are not out of it just yet. Nine points adrift of the leaders, they are fourth in the table, level on points with Porto with 56 points from 27 games.
Sporting come into the game unbeaten in 14 matches, winning nine, drawing five. That includes four consecutive wins in their last four games, most recently a 3-1 win over Famalicao at home and a 3-0 win away at Estrela Amadora.
SC Braga are also on a good run of form with nine wins in their last eleven (D1, L1). They have also won all their last three including a 1-0 win over FC Porto, a 1-0 away win at Farense and most recently a 2-1 home win over Arouca.

Our Sporting Lisbon vs SC Braga Prediction
Our prediction for the Sporting Lisbon vs. SC Braga Primeira Liga match is: Sporting Lisbon to win and Both Teams to Score - Yes.
With so much on the line for both teams here, this could be a match that sees plenty of goal action, as their previous league game this season was. Sporting won that 4-2 and they could do something very similar here. Braga nearly always score in games, but Sporting are very strong at home and are the highest scorers in the division. A home win with both teams scoring therefore is a very good choice.
Prediction :
Sporting Lisbon to win and Both Teams to Score - Yes
