Braga are Sporting star’s favourite victims, chance to boost his tally | OneFootball

Pote will be in the starting lineup against Braga and the Minho team is his favorite victim: Sporting’s playmaker has scored eight goals in 14 matches

In 14 matches against Braga, Pote has already scored eight goals against the Minho side. The ‘number 8’ will return to Sporting’s starting eleven after having been a substitute in Naples for the Champions League, and he wants to continue his good run of form.

Pote wants to score again and increase his numbers against Braga, but Luis Suárez has the stats on his side and is in the race for the top scorer award of Liga Portugal Betclic together with the Portuguese international.

The match also marks the reunion between Pote and the Minho team. It’s worth remembering that it was precisely against Braga, in Ruben Amorim’s last game – in November 2024 – that the forward suffered an injury which kept him out for several months.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Pedro Gonçalves – valued at 30 million euros – has already played 10 matches: seven in Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League, and one in the Super Cup. During the 793 minutes he has played, the ‘number 8’ for the Lions has already scored five goals and provided three assists.

Sporting will only be back on the pitch next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, part of the eighth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 7:15 p.m.
