Arouca v Sporting: Rui Borges readies his side for the snow | OneFootball

Rui Silva, Georgios Vagiannidis, Gonçalo Inácio, Matheus Reis, and Iván Fresneda; Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita; Maxi Araújo, Francisco Trincão, Geny Catamo, and Luis Suárez. This is expected to be Sporting's starting eleven for the match against Arouca.

Rui Borges will field the most capable central defensive pair available, maintaining the option that proved successful against PSG. However, the main changes are expected to be on the flanks, with Ricardo Mangas returning to the bench and the Greek international joining Fresneda.

In the midfield, Hjulmand returns to the Sporting coach's options after a two-match suspension and could pair up with Morita. Additionally, Geny is expected to appear on the right, while Maxi Araújo takes care of the left midfield, with Trincão supporting the striker, Luis Suárez.

Sporting returns to the field next Saturday, January 24, against Arouca. The match, part of the 19th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Vasco Seabra, will be played at 6:00 PM at the opponent's ground.

Currently, the green and whites occupy the second position in the National Championship standings, with 45 points. Benfica is in third place, with 42, while Porto leads the competition with 52 points.
