Vitoria Setubal are having a modest season so far in the Portuguese top flight, they sit 11th in the league with 17 points from their 14 games however they are in poor form having lost their last 3 consecutive league fixtures, 1-0 at home to Benfica, 3-1 away to Portimonense and 2-0 at home to Santa Clara.
Sporting Braga are also having a modest season by their standards as they currently sit 4th in the league with 30 points from their opening 14 games. They had gone on a 3 match winning streak thanks to victories against Moreirense, Feirense and Tondela all without their opponents scoring however they were brought back to earth on Sunday as they were heavily beaten 6-2 away at Benfica.
Vitoria Setubal’s games in this competition tend to go a bit goal crazy, particularly in respect to their general league scoring form. Setubal games have seen 2.29 goals per game this season in the league however their last 10 Taca de Liga have seen 30 goals, averaging 3.00 per game. This is also a competition where Sporting Braga normally find their scoring boots, netting in 11 of their last 12 away games in the competition. They have seen 29 goals in their last 10 games in the competition, an average of 2.9 per game.
