Sporting attack gives Rui Borges a real headache | OneFootball

Rui Borges has a problem to solve in the most offensive sector of his team. Sporting takes advantage of only a third of its goal opportunities, making the lions one of the teams with the worst offensive efficiency. An example of this was the various occasions in the game last Sunday, October 5, in the draw against Braga.

According to data collected by the newspaper Record, the Alvalade Club is the sixth worst team in the National Championship in terms of offensive efficiency, ranking 13th out of 18 teams. This information only worsens when we consider that the green and white emblem is the team that creates the most goal opportunities.

Throughout this edition of Liga Portugal Betclic, Sporting has already created a total of 36 goal opportunities, of which only 12 were converted. This means the lions wasted 24 chances to score. Currently, the players under Rui Borges have already scored 20 goals, with the rest coming from penalty conversions.

On the flip side, Arouca is the team in the national championship with the best offensive efficiency. Out of a total of 10 opportunities, the Arouca team created and converted seven, resulting in an offensive efficiency of 70%. Currently, the team from the Aveiro district has already scored 10 accurate shots.

The green and white emblem returns to the field only on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, counting for the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at Estádio Capital do Móvel, at 8:15 PM.
