The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑1 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 21 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Braga arrives at this 22nd matchday extremely motivated by the campaign they have been doing in the championship, especially since Rúben Amorim replaced Ricardo Sá Pinto in the technical command. The Minho team goes to this game in 3rd place, with one more point than Sporting, after having managed to overcome, in the last round, Benfica, in the middle of Estádio da Luz. For a new victory of three points against one of the so-called “big” of Portuguese football, Braga only needed one goal, already in the first half overtime, with João Palhinha attacking a ball launched by Sequeira, in the corner kick. Last Thursday, Braga finally had their first loss with the new coach in Scotland, where they lost by 3-2 against Rangers in the first leg of the round of 32 Europa League, wasting the advantage of two goals.
