Rio Ave v Sporting (2025/26): Live stream, likely XI, times and... | OneFootball

Sporting return to action this Monday, May 11, against Rio Ave. The match, counting for the 33rd round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by Sotiris Sylaidopoulos, will be played at 8:15 pm in Vila do Conde.

At the moment, the green-and-whites sit third in the National Championship table, with 76 points. Porto (85) are in first place (with one more game played). Benfica are second, also with 76, but hold the advantage in the head-to-head record.

Rui Silva, Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio and Maxi Araújo; Hidemasa Morita and Daniel Bragança; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves and Luis Suárez. This is expected to be Sporting’s starting eleven for the match against the Vila do Conde side.

Rui Borges is expected to make just one change to the starting eleven compared to the side fielded in the last win over Vitória de Guimarães, which will see Ousmane Diomande come into central defence in place of Zeno Debast.

In midfield, Morten Hjulmand, still injured, once again forces Hidemasa Morita into a deeper role, meaning Daniel Bragança will occupy the 'number 8' position. Further forward, Geny Catamo is expected to appear on the right, while Pedro Gonçalves takes care of the left half-space. Francisco Trincão will play in support of striker Luis Suárez.
