Farioli's plan for Nottingham: FC Porto's likely XI | OneFootball

NOTTINGHAM – Everything suggests that, this Thursday, Francesco Farioli will once again follow the approach he has used since the start of the Europa League knockout stage when selecting FC Porto’s starting eleven.

The Italian coach is expected to make a few changes, fielding players such as Thiago Silva, Rosario, Fofana and William Gomes – the latter missed the match in Amoreira through suspension – in tonight’s lineup. Even so, it cannot be ruled out that Gabri Veiga and Deniz Gul will keep their places in the starting side after the game in Estoril.

As is well known, Farioli has made plenty of changes from match to match, trying to manage as best as possible the fitness of the squad at his disposal while, at the same time, maximizing FC Porto’s ambitions on the three fronts in which they are still competing.

Even though Pablo Rosario had been mentioned as an option for the right flank of the defensive line, everything points to Alberto making his fourth straight start, while Deniz Gul and Gabri Veiga also appear as strong candidates for the starting eleven because of the qualities they can add to Porto’s play.
