Sporting Braga vs Sporting CP Lisbon Match Preview

The game marks the first return of Domingos Paciência to the club were he consolidated his reputation as one of Portugal’s top up-and-coming coaches. Domingos enjoyed tremendous success at Braga, leading the club to runners-up in the Liga in 2009/10 (their highest ever finish) and the Europa League final the following year.

“Returning to a ground were I was so happy is a very good feeling. I can’t say if it is an advantage for me. The only advantage may come from the fact I know most of Braga’s players and their strong and weak points,” said the Sporting coach.

With Sporting having won only one of their last four Liga matches, Domingos knows his team cannot afford any more dropped points if they want to make a serious challenge for the title this season.

“We are prohibited from dropping any points. To win we will have to put in a much better first-half performance than we did against Académica, FC Porto and Nacional,” added the Sporting boss.

Sporting must make do without top scorer Ricky van Wolfswinkel. Either Bojinov or January transfer window signing Sebastian Ribas will deputise.

Braga go into the match in a hot run of form having won five and drawn one of their last six matches. The Arsenalistas are further boosted by the inclusion of midfielder Luis Alberto in the squad, who was signed from Nacional last week.

“I expect to face a very strong Sporting side,” said Braga coach Leonardo Jardim. “They made a big investment in the summer and this is the strongest team they have had for several years. But despite all the respect we have for Sporting, we want to win the three points,” said Jardim.

Kick-off at 8.15pm local time at the Estádio AXA, Braga on Sunday night.

Sporting Braga vs Sporting CP Lisbon Match Report

Tom Kundert, Jan 16th 2012
Braga scored a crucial win over Sporting on Sunday night to leapfrog their rivals from Lisbon and move up into 3rd in the table - the last place giving access to next season's Champions League.
There was little goalmouth action in the first half, with Rui Patrício's save from Marcio Mossoró the closest either side came to breaking the dealock.

The second half started with a bang as Sporting midfielder Matias Fernández was unlucky to see his shot cannon back off the post.

Braga took the lead shortly afterwards as Hélder Barbosa got on the end of a Lima pass and opened the scoring.

Lima himself scored Braga's second in the 64th minute, capitalising on a mistake by Sporting centre-back Alberto Rodriguez.

The visitors gave themselves hope of taking something from the game when Carrillo pulled a goal back on 74 minutes, but Braga held on without much difficulty to secure all three points.
