Experts: Sporting could struggle against Moreirense, all conditions set | OneFootball

Luís Figueiredo and Laurindo Filho shared their preview for the match between Sporting and Moreirense, scheduled for this Monday, September 22nd, as part of the fifth round of Liga Portugal. Despite the expected changes in Rui Borges' starting lineup, the experts see Sporting as the main favorites, but it won't be an easy game.

“Sporting is under pressure to win. In my view, it will be a tough game against a very strong Moreirense this season. They are also in a good position, have shown good football, and Sporting is missing Rui Silva and Diomande, who are two very important players,” Figueiredo began in statements to A Bola TV.

Next, Luís Figueiredo highlights the importance of Ousmane Diomande in the Sporting team: “Diomande is a very physically strong player and, despite Sporting having won the last games, they show some problems in the game. It will be important to see how Sporting will present themselves on the field.”

Then it was Laurindo Filho's turn, who, despite considering Sporting as the favorite, highlights the challenges Moreirense might present: “Sporting will present themselves as the natural favorite they are, but at the same time with some caution because on the other side is a well-coached team that knows how to play and interpret the game correctly.”

“On a normal day, I think Moreirense has all the conditions to create difficulties for Sporting. But, I believe that Rui Borges is well-prepared for this situation and will convey the right message to his players, and I believe we will witness a great football spectacle at Alvalade,” concluded Laurindo Filho.
