Sporting Braga vs Sporting CP Lisbon Match Preview
Sporting’s defeat at home to Vitoria Setubal last weekend enabled Braga to reclaim third place in the standings, and a draw will suffice for the Arsenalistas to finish the season above their more prestigious Lisbon rivals for the second year running.
However, with Braga set to play the biggest game in the club’s history just three days later – the Europa League final against FC Porto – coach Domingos Paciencia may be tempted to shuffle his pack in order to keep his most important players fresh for the Dublin showdown.
Paciencia’s imminent move to Sporting over the summer adds another ingredient to what promises to be an intriguing encounter.
