Sporting Braga form and stats

The visitors are W7-D1-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Primeira Liga. Things are running smoothly for Sporting Braga who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Paços de Ferreira. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Sporting Braga's record of five away victories in a row even more impressive.

The supporters enjoyed Sporting Braga's previous game versus Portimonense (placed 17th), a Primeira Liga 3-1 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Maritimo at their stadium, the result 2-1.

The 3-1 victory against Portimonense could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times.

The travelling fans enjoy Sporting Braga's attacking play in away games, having scored 19 goals in 12 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Sporting Braga as they have only conceded 11 goals from these away games.
