Benfica v Sporting line-ups: Rui Borges has two dilemmas | OneFootball

Rui Silva, Iván Fresneda, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves, and Luis Suárez. This should, in principle, be the starting eleven for Rui Borges’ Sporting for the 13th round of the National Championship.

Rui Borges will field the strongest center-back pairing at his disposal, since Zeno Debast remains injured. As for the flanks, everything should remain the same as in the match against Estrela da Amadora, with Fresneda and Maxi on each side. Rui Silva continues to be the undisputed owner of the goal.

In midfield, Morten Hjulmand should pair up with Hidemasa Morita, with João Simões once again on the bench, as the Japanese player offers more experience. Although this is one of the biggest doubts, Geny may stay on the right, with Geovany Quenda left out of the starting eleven. Pote returns to the starting lineup on the left side of midfield, with Trincão supporting the striker, who should once again be Luis Suárez.

Sporting Sporting will be back on the pitch this Friday, December 5th, against Benfica. The match, counting for the 13th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by José Mourinho, will be played at Estádio da Luz at 8:15 pm.

Benfica is in third place with 28 points, while Porto leads the competition with 34 points.
