Braga will face off against Sporting Lisbon at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa Stadium, Leiria in the Semi-finals match of the 2023-2024 Portuguese League Cup on Tuesday, January 23, 2024. The Braga vs Sporting Lisbon match can be watched live streaming, here is complete information.
The highly anticipated football match between Braga and Sporting Lisbon will soon take place in the context of the semifinals of the Portuguese League Cup (Taça da Liga) 2023/24. These two teams have a long history in this tournament, and this match is expected to be a close battle.
The Federation Cup is the third most prestigious tournament system in Portugal, after the premier league (Primeira Liga) and the Portuguese Cup (Taça de Portugal). Although it does not provide a place in European competitions like the League Cup in England, this tournament is still appreciated by the top teams in Portugal. The three biggest teams in Portugal, namely Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, are not taking this tournament lightly.
Braga, led by coach Artur Jorge, has shown impressive performance in this tournament. In 16 editions of the tournament since the 2007/08 season, Braga has won two titles, only behind Benfica with seven titles and Sporting Lisbon with four titles. In fact, they are better than Porto, who only won one title.
This season, thanks to third place in the 2023/24 Portuguese premier league, Braga went straight to the third round of the Portuguese League Cup. They have earned four points from two matches, and are only ahead of Casa Pia in terms of goal difference.
However, Braga’s performance in the last month is not that impressive. They have won three of their last eight games in all competitions, but have also lost four. Nevertheless, they managed to achieve an important victory in the premier league last weekend.
On the other hand, Sporting Lisbon were runners-up in the League Cup last year, after losing to Porto. Previously, they had won this tournament in 2022. With ambitions to win more titles this season, Sporting Lisbon have won all their matches in the third round and have qualified for the semifinals.
Sporting Lisbon have also reached the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup and currently lead the Primeira Liga with 46 points from 18 matches. They carried their eight-game winning streak into the League Cup semi-finals, with at least two goals scored in each game.
In their last meeting in the league, Sporting Lisbon could not beat Braga, with the final score 1-1. However, that match was held at Braga’s home ground, while this semi-final match will be held on a neutral field, which may give Sporting Lisbon an advantage.
