Sporting CP are doing one of the best seasons in their history, in terms of points for the league with 18 games played yet they only made more points once. It's the first time in Sporting CP's history that they are in January in the 4 competitions and with a trophy won (Portuguese SuperCup), they are in the semi-finals of Portuguese Cup, semi-finals of Portuguese League Cup, only 3 points behind FC Porto and will face Manchester City in the 16-finals for Champions League. 2 weeks ago they were in the 1st position with the same points as Porto, but then the coach Ruben Amorim got infected and the team felt a lot his absence and lost the 2nd game for the league since Amorim is the coach. He came back against Leça and they won easily and against Vizela where they won clear 2-0. For this game they have only one important absence, the left-defender Nuno Santos after a bad behavior against Vizela supporters during the game. It will be a very good chance for the left-defender that started the season playing every game Ruben Vinagre who was an amazing talent and will have an amazing future, but he lost a lot confidence after the game against Ajax where he faced Anthony and he destroyed Vinagre. Sporting play at home, they have a big must win for playing at home and to not let Porto run from the title race. The stadium will be full, there are no more tickets to buy. Amazing news for Sporting CP is that one of the best players from the team who is loaned by Manchester City, Pedro Porro will be back after 1 month out due to an injury, probably he won't start in the XI but will be on the bench and is the best option they could have. Pablo Sarabia is living the best moment since he came to Sporting CP, is the 2nd best player of the league after Luis Diaz and he has contract with PSG and he had so many minutes last season in a team full of stars like Neymar, Veratti, Mbappe, Icardi and Di Maria.

Probable line-up: Adan; Esgaio - Gonçalo Inacio - Coates - Matheus Reis - Ruben Vinagre; Joao Palhinha - Daniel Bragança; Pote - Sarabia and Paulinho.

Braga in my opinion are being the disappointment of the season, I really thought that this season they would fight for the title with Porto, Sporting and Benfica. They bought good players like Yan Couto from Manchester City, Lucas Mineiro, Mario Gonzalez, Chiquinho, Paulo Oliveira and Diogo Leite loaned by Porto. The last season they won the Portuguese Cup in the final against Benfica, lost the final of Portuguese Cup against Sporting and were for some moment in the 2nd place for the League, but this season everything changed. They were eliminated by Boavista by 5-1, they lost against Vizela for the Cup and got qualified with some luck in the Europa League where they had the worst group of the competition. I just saw 2 good games from Braga this season, against Vizela and then against Estoril but then they played against Porto and were completely destroyed and after that their games were really poor. They come from 2 bad results at home, a draw against Famalicao and a defeat against Maritimo. The best right-defender of the team is infected with covid-19 Yan Couto and will miss this game, will be replaced by a player that last season was playing for Academica in the 2nd league, he has quality but commits many errors due to his lack of experience. Braga have no pressure for this game, but due to their recent shape I can't see them causing any problem to Sporting CP.

Probable line-up: Matheus; Fabiano - Paulo Oliveira - Diogo Leite - Tormena - Galeno; Al Musrati - Andre Castro; Iuri Medeiros - Ricardo Horta and Vitinha.

体育联盟正在做他们历史上最好的赛季之一，在18场比赛中为联盟得分，但他们只有一次得分更多。这是葡萄牙体育俱乐部历史上第一次在1月参加4场比赛，并赢得了奖杯(葡萄牙超级杯)，他们进入了葡萄牙杯半决赛，葡萄牙联赛杯半决赛，只有3分落后波尔图和16-finals将面对曼城的冠军联赛。两周前他们在第一位置与波尔图一样的点,然后教练鲁本阿莫林被感染和团队感到很多他的缺席和输掉第二场联赛因为阿莫林是教练。在对Leça的比赛中，他卷土重来，他们轻松取胜，在对维泽拉的比赛中，他们以2-0大获全胜。在这场比赛中，他们只有一场重要的缺席，左后卫努诺·桑托斯在比赛中对维泽拉的支持者做出了不好的行为。这将是一个很好的机会，左后卫鲁本·维纳尔是一个惊人的天才，将有一个惊人的未来，但他失去了很多信心，在与阿贾克斯的比赛中，他面对安东尼，他摧毁了维纳尔。在主场的比赛中，他们必须要赢得一场比赛，并且不让波尔图从冠军争夺中出局。体育场将会爆满，没有更多的票可以买了。体育CP的令人惊异的新闻是最好的球员之一的团队被曼城租借,佩德罗·普罗会回来1个月后由于受伤,他可能不会在XI但将坐在替补席上,他们是最好的选择。巴勃罗Sarabia生活最好的时刻,因为他来到体育CP,第二是联盟最好的球员路易斯·迪亚兹和他合同后与PSG和他有那么多分钟上赛季在团队充满了星星像内马尔,Veratti, Mbappe, Icardi和迪马利亚。

在我看来，布拉加这个赛季令人失望，我真的认为这个赛季他们会和波尔图、里斯本和本菲卡一起争夺冠军。他们从曼城引进了优秀的球员，比如库托，卢卡斯·米内罗，马里奥·冈萨雷斯，奇昆尼奥，保罗·奥利维拉和租借到波尔图的迪奥戈·莱特。上个赛季，他们在对阵本菲卡的决赛中赢得了葡萄牙杯，在葡萄牙杯决赛中输给了竞技队，一度在联赛中排名第二，但这个赛季一切都变了。他们以5-1被博阿维斯塔淘汰，他们在杯赛中输给了维泽拉，并侥幸晋级了欧洲联赛，他们的小组是比赛中最差的。这个赛季我只看了布拉加对阵维泽拉和埃斯托里尔的两场精彩的比赛，但他们对阵波尔图时被彻底摧毁了，那之后他们的比赛真的很糟糕。他们在主场经历了两场糟糕的比赛，一场和法马利柯打平，一场输给马里蒂莫。因感染新冠肺炎而缺席本场比赛的最佳右后卫严·库托，将由上赛季在第二联赛为Academica效力的球员代替，他虽然有实力，但由于经验不足而犯了很多错误。布拉加在这场比赛中没有压力，但由于他们最近的状态，我不认为他们会给体育联盟带来任何问题。
