The last time these teams met was for a Portuguese Cup match, on 15-10-2011, referring to the 2011/2012 season, which ended with a victory of the Sporting Braga team by 1-3.

And while we're on the historical factor, it's important to point out that it's always pertinent to consider the history of relevance in the competition, so for this game it should be noted that 1º Dezembro have not yet won the Portuguese Cup while Sporting Braga has won the competition 3 times.

In fact, the objective of these teams is to try to go as far as possible. They know that it is difficult to win the title in this edition. Even so, the surprise could be the Cup, as in the championship the fight is quite different.

Regarding the current form of the teams, based on statistical data, we can assume that Sporting Braga has shown greater consistency over the past five recent matches, accumulating 3 wins, compared to 1º Dezembro, which won 1 game. However, it's worth noting that at least one of 1º Dezembro matches was a friendly game, and therefore, the final score might not carry the same level of significance as the other matches.

To get a more recent analysis of the form of both teams individually, their performance in recent matches, featured players, and other essential statistics will also be evaluated.

1º Dezembro

The team, coached by João Nuno Rodrigues Carromeu, should adopt an offensive posture in the game, in an attempt to make the most of their home advantage. Given that playing at home can make a huge difference in a Cup match, we can expect to see the team's dominance in the offensive sector, leading to a larger number of corners and shots.

Considering this, we analyzed 1º Dezembro's record in the Portuguese Cup and found that, with a record where the team has never even reached a final of any edition of the Portuguese Cup, along with other factors, 1º Dezembro can be considered an outsider team, so their main goal is to give their best in the Cup, and just reaching the final stages will already be an outstanding achievement. But the players won't be satisfied so easily, so they must give their best to achieve a historic achievement.

Sporting Braga

Playing away from home, it is possible that Sporting Braga will adopt a slightly more defensive posture, aiming to get at least a draw from their rival. We know how difficult it is to score goals as an away team, especially in a Cup match, when the hosts try their best to take advantage of this factor. Therefore, the tendency is for few goals from the away team.

The visiting team arrives at this match after a defeat in the last round. In a dispute valid for Liga Portugal, Sporting Braga, who used a 4-2-3-1 formation, faced the Porto team with a final score of 2-1.
