Froholdt is assured a starting position in FC Porto's midfield for the classic match, meaning one of the starters who faced Casa Pia will have to give up their spot to the bench. Analyzing Farioli's recent choices, it's most likely that between Pablo Rosario and Alan Varela, the Argentine will be relegated, with the Dominican international taking the most defensive midfield position.
After dominating the position for much of the first half of the season, Alan Varela has lost some prominence in the last month, and against Casa Pia, when Froholdt came on, it was the Argentine who was substituted, with Pablo Rosario moving back to the number 6 position.
The other midfield spot should continue to belong to Gabri Veiga, with Rodrigo Mora remaining on the substitutes' bench, as was the case throughout the match against Casa Pia.
