Rui Borges has two changes lined up for Sporting v Estoril | OneFootball

Rui Borges does not want any sign of relaxation at Sporting before the Classic with Porto, scheduled for Tuesday, March 3rd, and views the match against Estoril, set for this Friday, as one of the most demanding encounters of the season.

More than a strategic speech, it is a conviction of the Sporting coach. The semi-final duel of the Portuguese Cup against the Dragons will not yet be decisive, as there is a second leg in the North. The league commitment, however, takes on a decisive character in the fight for the title, especially considering that in the following round Sporting travels to Braga, coinciding with the match between Benfica and Porto.

In this sense, Rui Borges is expected to field the best available eleven right away, with only two changes anticipated compared to the last match, and possibly new management in Tuesday's game: the entries of João Simões and Pote are currently expected.

Given this scenario, Rui Borges is likely to maintain stability in the defensive sector, focusing potential changes in the midfield and the offensive trio supporting Luis Suárez. Thus, Hidemasa Morita and Luís Guilherme are expected to return to the substitutes' bench.
