Likely Sporting line-up to face Marseille, Rui Borges makes seven changes | OneFootball

Rui Silva, Iván Fresneda, Zeno Debast, Gonçalo Inácio, and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand and Hidemasa Morita; Geovany Quenda, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves, and Luis Suárez. This is expected, initially, to be the starting eleven for Sporting under Rui Borges for the third round of the Champions League.

Rui Silva regains his place in the eleven, after João Virgínia was chosen for the Portuguese Cup. The defense will be completely revamped, with Vagiannidis, Diomande, Quaresma, and Mangas making way for Fresneda, Debast, Inácio, and Maxi.

In the midfield, Morten Hjulmand is expected to pair with Hidemasa Morita, just like against Paços de Ferreira. Geovany Quenda remains on the right, with Pote moving to the left. Trincão returns to Rui Borges's selections and Luis Suárez is the designated striker.

Sporting returns to the field next Wednesday, October 22, against Marseille. The match, counting for the third round of the Champions League, against the team led by Roberto De Zerbi, will be played at the Alvalade Stadium at 8:00 PM.

The Lions have already played two games in the competition, accumulating three points. Rui Borges's team defeated Kairat at Alvalade, 4-1, and lost 2-1 on their trip to Naples, seeking to return to victories in European competitions.
