Sporting Braga will host Sporting Lisbon at the Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side are enjoying a good run of form in their league campaign at the moment and sit fourth in the table with 20 points from 10 matches.
They beat Arouca 2-1 in their last league outing, with Bruma opening the scoring from the spot in the first half and Amine El Ouazzani doubling their advantage early after the restart before their opponents scored a late consolation goal.
Sporting, meanwhile, are flying at the moment as head coach Ruben Amorim closes out his reign on a high. They breezed past Estrela Amadora in their 5-1 league win over the struggling Tricolours last weekend before picking up a stunning 4-1 comeback victory over Manchester City in the Champions League earlier in the week with star striker Viktor Gyokeres scoring a remarkable seven times across both games.
