The Portugal or Portugal Cup Campeonato Nacional has entered the semi-finals and one of the semi-final matches is to bring together Benfica with Sporting Lisbon but also FC Porto against Sporting Braga. It was very interesting for the 4 teams as well as the Portugal Cup semi-final this season, they dominated the entire Portuguese competition this season.

Meanwhile FC Porto vs Sporting Braga got different results in the last 2 matches, Sporting Braga suffered a 3-0 defeat to Sporting Lisbon then the poor results continued when they hosted Belenense and lost 0-2. While FC Porto beat Vitoria Setubal 2-0 and humiliated the host CD Tondela 0-3. Interesting hosts scored a total of 5 goals without conceding then Sporting Braga is the opposite again, conceding 5 goals without scoring.

At the same event last season, Sporting Braga stepped away from this. In fact they were eliminated in round 4 of the host Rio Ave with a thin score of 1-0. In that match actually Sporting Braga was very seeded, so reaching this stage was an improvement from their hard work. While FC Porto were also semi-finalists last season but had to be eliminated losing to Sporting Lisbon.

Come back to see what the current Portuguese Premier League is, where FC Porto is still firmly in the top of the standings and Sporting Braga is ranked 3, but one of FC Porto’s wins this season also happened to Sporting Braga, yesterday’s first round Sporting Braga narrowly lost 1-0 thanks to the goal scored by Tiquinho in the 88th minute. Even Sporting Braga also lost to the other 2 strong teams Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, so for this leg 1 match it is likely FC Porto will get another victory over the visitors.
