Sporting Braga slipped out of the top three in the Sacred League and lost the League Cup final in recent weeks. They have only one victory in their last six games, which has ended up giving a giant blow to their hopes of a strong season. This could have been a reference year for them, but instead they are under way to spend another year out of the Champions League. Is there any way they can improve their hopes of claiming third place by watching the champions?

Benfica has had
some problems of its own in recent times, its start of 2017 has not been the
best. They have had some problems, which has left them worried about their
hopes for the title. Porto are now putting serious pressure on the leaders, and
they could push all the way as they seek to end their trophy drought. The
Dragons will be backing Sporting Braga
this weekend as a result of the hosts on Sunday could be a blow to the
prospects of the champions.
Sporting Braga
has lost one time at home this season, but that is going to be seriously tested
this weekend. The Eagles have won 70% of their trips out of the league. Benfica have also won the title as they
defeated Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the Champions League in the middle of the
week. That triumph proved to be back to their best level after some fights last
month. Despite a small drop in form, the champions have still managed to win
76% of their league games. They have also managed to win at zero on 50% of
their trips out, so they will make life tough for hosts attackers.
