Sporting facing a big problem: Lions keep squandering chances 🦁 | OneFootball

Sporting is facing a challenge in the attack of its team, which has shown low efficiency in finishing. The Lions only convert about a third of the chances created, ranking among the teams with the worst offensive performance. This difficulty was evident in the draw against Braga, last Sunday, October 5, with several opportunities wasted throughout the match.

According to data collected by Record newspaper, the Alvalade Club is the sixth worst team in the National Championship in terms of offensive utilization, standing in 13th position, in a universe of 18 formations. 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 the Liga Portugal Betclic, Sporting has already created a total of 36 occasions for goal, of which only 12 were converted. This means that the Lions wasted 24 chances to score. Currently, Rui Borges' pupils 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 utilization. Out of a total of 10 opportunities, the Arouca team created and converted seven, resulting in an offensive utilization of 70%. Currently, the team from the district of Aveiro has already made 10 accurate shots.

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