Braga, who finished 4th in the last league season, failed to break the Porto-Sporting Lisbon-Benfica trident, but the streak prepared by Artur Jorge (a former centre-back who spent his playing career in this club and ended his career in Peñafiel, for which he played only one match!) hopes to seize the podium in the current season of the Premier League.

Braga, on the other hand, do not have a single title but are a regular in the European Cups where they have always reached the group stage in the last 10 years and last season they played in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. (1-0 and 1-3 with Glasgow Rangers).

This summer, Braga lost centre-back Davide Carmo (left to Porto) and right-back Jan Couto (returned to Manchester City on loan).

Instead, Siku Niakate, on loan from Gengama, was brought in to play in the center of defense. Sporting Lisbon have 19 titles to their credit, the last of which came in the 2020-2021 season, and want revenge on Porto, the team that denied them the double last season (with six points between them).

The Lions are coached by Ruben Amorim, a former 14-cap Portuguese midfielder who spent most of his career at Benfica and takes over in 2020 after a season at Braga!

Jerry St. was a big acquisition this summer. Juste, a youth player of the Dutch national team, was brought in from Mainz for 9.5 million euros. Also, Francisco Trincão was loaned to FC Barcelona.

In the last 10 direct matches, “Braga” won three, while “Sporting” Lisbon won seven games.

Last season, matches between Braga and Sporting were balanced. The two clubs shared the points, each winning away with a score of 2:1.
