Georgios Vagiannidis hoping to make history in Juventus v Sporting clash | OneFootball

It appears that Georgios Vagiannidis will be in the starting lineup for Sporting’s visit to Juventus, scheduled for this Tuesday, November 4th. If confirmed, this will be the Greek international’s official debut in the Champions League group stage.

The injury to Iván Fresneda in the match against Alverca - which the Lions won 2-0 - leaves Rui Borges with few options, who will be ‘forced’ to make this change in his starting eleven for the trip to Turin, where the Portuguese coach intends to field his strongest side.

The truth is that in Sporting’s other three Champions League matches, Vagiannidis did not leave the bench in any of them - against Kairat, Napoli, and Marseille - with his only appearance in the prestigious competition coming during the qualifying phase, playing for Panathinaikos.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Georgios Vagiannidis - valued at 12 million euros - has featured in ten matches. The green and white full-back has played a total of 663 minutes, during which he managed to provide three assists for his teammates.

Sporting will be back in action this Tuesday, November 4th, against Juventus. The match, part of the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, will be played in Turin at 8:00 p.m., against the team led by Luciano Spalletti.
