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

Sporting will host Braga next Sunday. Pote returns to the starting eleven and has reasons to smile: the Minho side are the green and white playmaker’s ‘favorite victims’, as he has already scored eight goals in 14 matches played against the opposition.

Pote wants to score again and increase his tally against Braga, but Luis Suárez has the stats in his favor and is in the running for the top scorer award in Liga Portugal Betclic alongside the Portuguese international.

The match also marks the reunion between Pote and the Minho side. 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.
