Sporting return to action this Monday, May 4, against Vitória de Guimarães. The match, part of the 32nd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Gil Lameiras, will be played at 8:15 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.
At the moment, the green and whites sit third in the National Championship standings, with 73 points won. Porto (85) are in first place (with one more game played). Benfica are second with 76, but they have also played one more match.
Rui Silva, Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Zeno Debast and Maxi Araújo; Hidemasa Morita and Daniel Bragança; Geovany Quenda, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves and Luis Suárez. This is expected, at the outset, to be Sporting’s starting eleven for the match against the side from Guimarães.
Rui Borges will make only two changes compared to the starting eleven that faced Tondela in midweek, in a rescheduled round of fixtures that ended in a damaging 2-2 draw. Ousmane Diomande and Francisco Trincão come into the starting lineup.
The Sporting coach will also make a change on the right side of defence. Georgios Vagiannidis will start on the bench, with Eduardo Quaresma moving out wide. In attack, Francisco Trincão will join Pedro Gonçalves and Geny Catamo in direct support of striker Luis Suárez.
