Benfica Preview – Can Benfica return to winning ways?
Benfica were held to a frustrating 3-3 draw at home by Scottish Premiership side, Rangers, in their midweek Europa League tie at their Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, but the hosts have another opportunity at home against Sporting Braga in this mouthwatering clash against Braga on Sunday.
The hosts will be keen to bounce back from defeat last time out in the Primeira Liga where they suffered a heavy 3-0 loss on the road at Boavista, but they’d previously put together an impressive seven-match winning streak in all competitions beforehand.
Indeed, Benfica have won eight of their last nine matches overall in the Primeira Liga and together with having won their last six matches at home on the trot, Benfica look set to add to their points tally here as they look to move top of the domestic top flight.
Sporting Braga Preview – Can Braga recover?
Sunday’s visitors, Sporting Braga, were dealt a heavy 4-0 defeat away from home at Premier League side, Leicester City, in the Europa League and the visitors will be hoping that this isn’t the shape of things to come ahead of this difficult clash at Benfica.
Sporting Braga had also previously strung together an impressive un of wins with six victories on the trot in all competitions while in the Primeira Liga, the visitors have also won their last four matches on the trot with wins against Tondela, Nacional, Vitoria Guimaraes and Famalicao.
However, Braga haven’t always been convincing on the road as the visitors have picked up just three away wins out of their last eight matches on their travels and they also possess a wretched record away at Benfica, losing eight of their last nine visits away to their hosts.
