João Virgínia, Georgios Vagiannidis, Zeno Debast, Gonçalo Inácio, and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita; Geovany Quenda, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves, and Luis Suárez. This should, in principle, be the starting eleven for Rui Borges’ Sporting for the next round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
João Virgínia will start for the fourth consecutive match, even though Rui Silva is already available. In defense, Debast and Inácio form the usual partnership, with Ousmane Diomande not being called up, as revealed by Rui Borges in the pre-match press conference. Georgios Vagiannidis keeps his place in the starting lineup and Maxi occupies the left flank.
In midfield, Morten Hjulmand will pair up with Hidemasa Morita, sending Giorgi Kochorashvili to the bench. Geovany Quenda starts on the right wing, with Pedro Gonçalves on the left half-space. Francisco Trincão will have the freedom to move into central areas, playing behind the striker, Luis Suárez.
At the moment, the green and whites occupy second place in the National Championship table, with 15 points. Benfica is third, with 14, while Porto leads the competition with a total of 18 points.
