Ricardo Esgaio should start at right wing-back once again given that Porro is still injured. Daniel Bragança delivered a wonderful performance against FC Vizela and might get the nod over Matheus Nunes in the Sporting CP engine room once again. Nuno Santos was involved in an altercation with the FC Vizela supporters and the league have punished him with a ban. Matheus Reis should start at left wing-back as a result. Fabiano will likely return to the team given that Yan Couto has tested positive for COVID-19. Tiago Sá and Francisco Moura are also unavailable for the same reason, but they were not expected to start anyway. On the other hand, Bruno Rodrigues and Al Musrati are available after serving a ban. The latter is expected to bring fresh legs to the SC Braga engine room. Vitor Oliveira will likely get the nod over Mário Gonzalez and Abel Ruiz up front.
Sporting are undefeated in their last 26 home matches (Liga NOS). Sporting have scored at least 2 goals in their last 8 matches (Liga NOS). Sporting have won their last 5 home matches against Braga in all competitions. Sporting have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 home matches against Braga in all competitions.
Sporting CP successfully bounced back from their 3-2 defeat to CD Santa Clara as they beat Leça FC and FC Vizela without conceding. The Lions have only dropped two points at home this season, that coming in a meeting with title rivals FC Porto. SC Braga's rollercoaster season wrote another chapter last weekend as they were unexpectedly beaten by CS Marítimo at home after a 2-2 draw with FC Famalicão and an emphatic 6-0 win against FC Arouca. They could forfeit fourth place if they continue to drop points like that as Gil Vicente FC are approaching at a fast pace. Both sides met five times last year and Sporting CP won all five. Given SC Braga's dreadful run, the Lions are expected to extend their winning run here. 2:0
