Double chance : draw or Sporting CP

SC Braga is coming into this match with mixed recent results, having won their last game but losing the three before that. They are showing some inconsistency. Sporting CP's recent form is also quite patchy, with a heavy loss in their last outing and only one win in their last five games. Both teams seem to be struggling a bit for consistent, good shape.

Looking at their recent meetings, these matches tend to be very close. The last two times they played, the games ended in draws. Going back a bit further, their matches have often been high-scoring and exciting, with plenty of goals. Given how tight their recent clashes have been and both teams' current form, this looks set to be another very close and competitive game. Based on the facts, this match is likely to end in a draw.
