Can Braga derail Sporting’s unstoppable run towards the league title?

Liga Portugal’s group leaders Sporting CP will take on S.C. Braga on 11th November in an exciting duel in Portugal’s primeira division football. Sporting are currently on an onslaught having won every game in their domestic league. It’s been a 10 out of 10 for them with 30 points in their tally already. The Lisbon based club have been so dominant that they have literally bullied their opposition.

Braga too are doing well as they are currently placed fourth on the table. Just two points behind Benfica with 20 points. They also have a point to prove. Carlos Carvalhal’s team are on a three match winning streak and will look to capitalize on the momentum they have achieved.

Kick Off:

Monday, 11th November, 12:15 AM IST

Location: Estadio Municipal de Braga, Braga, Portugal

Form:

Braga : W-L-W-W-W

Sporting CP: W-W-W-W-W

Players to Watch:

Bruma (S.C. Braga)

Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP)

Viktor Gyokeres’s name is probably not unknown after Sporting’s recent drubbing of Manchester City in Lisbon. The 26 year old Swede scored a hattrick and that made him an overnight star. Courtesy of his exploits Sporting won the match in a devastating fashion (4-1).

Such performances have become quite routine for Viktor nowadays. The 26 year old has 16 goals to his name this season. Not just that Gyokeres has scored 45 goals in 43 games for the Lions. That’s more than one goal per game, a truly staggering average that any striker will hope to replicate.
