Likely Sporting XI v Torreense: Rui Borges makes one cup change | OneFootball

Rui Silva, Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand, Hidemasa Morita; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves and Luis Suárez. This is expected, at the outset, to be Sporting’s starting eleven for the match against Torreense.

Rui Borges is expected to make just one change to the starting eleven compared to the side that secured the last win against Gil Vicente (3-0), with Ousmane Diomande coming into central defense, while Eduardo Quaresma shifts to the right. Georgios Vagiannidis will start on the bench.

In midfield, Morten Hjulmand will partner Hidemasa Morita. Further forward, Geny Catamo is expected to appear on the right side of the attack, while Pedro Gonçalves takes care of the left half-space. Francisco Trincão will play in support of striker Luis Suárez.

Sporting return to action this Sunday, May 24, against Torreense. The match, counting toward the Portuguese Cup final, against the side coached by Luís Tralhão, will be played at 5:15 p.m., at the Estádio Nacional do Jamor.

It is worth remembering that the Alvalade club can win the 19th major trophy in its history. Up to the competition’s final showdown, the Lions eliminated Paços de Ferreira (3-2 a.e.t.), Marinhense (3-0), Santa Clara (3-2 a.e.t.), AFS (3-2 a.e.t.) and Porto (1-0 on aggregate).
