Sporting attack gives Rui Borges a real headache | OneFootball

Rui Borges has a problem to solve in the most offensive sector of his team. Sporting only takes advantage of a third of their scoring opportunities, making the Lions one of the teams with the worst offensive performance. An example of this were the several occasions in the game last Sunday, October 5th, in the draw against Braga.

According to data collected by the Record newspaper, the Alvalade Club is the sixth worst team in the National Championship in terms of offensive performance, being in 13th position, in a universe of 18 formations. This information only worsens when we consider that the green and white emblem is the team that creates the most scoring opportunities.

Throughout this edition of the Liga Portugal Betclic, Sporting has already created a total of 36 chances for goal, of which only 12 were converted. This means that the Lions wasted 24 chances to score. Currently, the pupils of Rui Borges have already scored 20 goals, with the rest coming from penalty conversions.

On the flip side, Arouca is the team in the national championship with the best offensive performance. In a universe of 10 total opportunities, the Arouca team created and converted seven, resulting in an offensive performance of 70%. Currently, the team from the district of Aveiro has already scored 10 accurate shots.

The green and white emblem will return to the field only on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, counting for the third round of the Portugal Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Capital do Móvel Stadium, at 8:15 pm.
