Sporting boss wants to beat Braga to end 11-game winless run | OneFootball

Sporting’s under-23 team return to action this Monday, April 6, at 6:00 pm, to face Braga in a championship qualification phase match of the Liga Revelação. The match, scheduled for the Aurélio Pereira Stadium, comes as an opportunity for the Lions to respond to an 11-game winless run and return to winning ways.

Previewing the match, coach Filipe Neto highlighted the expected balance, similar to the first-round clash. “We could have won in Braga, but, given what has been happening with us, we performed at a very high level throughout the game, got to the end and couldn’t sustain it,” he recalled to the Lions’ media.

The coach also made the team’s ambition for this challenge clear: “We want to show our value. We really believe in ourselves. It will be a very closely contested game, but I believe we can get a good result,” he said, recalling the last match.

“It was a very difficult game for us. We had some difficulty creating chances and getting to the opposition goal often, against a very mature team, with three players who came from the first team, which gave them a lot of stability,” he explained.
