REF’s picks

Both teams to score is a strong angle here, given Sporting's attacking quality and recent defensive vulnerabilities on the road. Braga are tough to break down at home, but with key injuries in their backline, expect an open match where both sides find the net.

1. 1Sporting have scored in almost every match this season, driven by a potent attack spearheaded by Fotis Ioannidis.
2. 2Braga have fitness concerns in central defence, including doubts over Sikou Niakaté.
3. 3Sporting's recent draws against Arouca and Famalicão show they can concede sloppy goals away from home.
