Luis Suárez returns to Sporting’s starting XI, stats favour the Colombian | OneFootball

Luis Suárez will return to Sporting's starting eleven after being a substitute in Naples - and making history for the lions. The Colombian will be the main attacking reference against Braga, replacing Fotis Ioannidis. In a match played at the Estádio José Alvalade, the Colombian has the numbers on his side, as he has scored in almost every game.

For the championship, Sporting has already hosted Arouca, Porto, and Moreirense. The 'number 79' scored twice against the Beirões and also found the net against the Minho team, only failing to score in the Classic of the fourth round, which ended with a victory for the Dragons.

Thus, Suárez wants to maintain his good form - three goals in the last three games - to score against Braga and continue fighting for the distinction of the league's top scorer. Currently, Suárez has five goals, alongside Pote, Vangelis Pavlidis, Samu, Guilherme Schettine, and Clayton.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played ten matches. The Sporting player has participated in all official matches at the start of this season: seven for Liga Portugal, two for the Champions League, and another for the Super Cup. In the 719 minutes he has been on the field, the forward has scored six goals and provided three assists.

Sporting will return to the field only next Sunday, October 5th, against Braga. The match, part of the eighth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at the Estádio José Alvalade at 19:15.
