Likely Sporting line-up against Tondela: Rui Borges set to make changes | OneFootball

Rui Silva, Iván Fresneda, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand and João Simões; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves, and Luis Suárez. This should, in principle, be the starting eleven for Rui Borges' Sporting for the ninth round of the National Championship.

The Lions' coach will repeat the defensive line that started the match against Marseille, except for Zeno Debast, who is unavailable. Diomande replaces the Belgian and will partner with Inácio. Fresneda and Maxi will occupy the flanks, and Rui Silva is the undisputed owner of the goal.

In midfield, Morten Hjulmand should pair up with João Simões, who is expected to retain his European starting spot. Geny Catamo returns to the right, taking the place of Geovany Quenda. Pote will play on the left half-space, with Trincão supporting the striker, Luis Suárez.

Sporting will be back on the field next Sunday, October 26, against Tondela. The match, valid for the ninth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ivo Vieira, will be played at Estádio João Cardoso at 18:00.

Gil Vicente is in third place, with 19 points (one more game), while Porto leads the competition with 22 points.
