Litos: Sporting starter may struggle in Naples, weak in the air | OneFootball

Litos believes that Rui Borges will shake up Sporting's starting eleven for the visit to Naples. The former player of the lions believes that Georgios Vagiannidis may be dropped from the starting lineup and that Ousmane Diomande would be a better option than Zeno Debast, given that the Belgian "struggles in one-on-one situations and in aerial play".

"I think Ivan Fresneda will start, joining the centre-backs and often making the defence a line of five. Geny Catamo could also be a surprise, given that Geovany Quenda has been playing several consecutive matches as a starter and almost always playing the full minutes", he said to Notícias ao Minuto.

Nevertheless, Litos believes that the Ivorian "could be a weapon": "Naples has a giant in the attack, which is Lorenzo Lucca, who is over 2 meters tall. Debast struggles in one-on-one situations and in aerial play".

"The game is more important for Naples. Sporting wants to make a good impression in Europe, but the main focus has to be on Sunday's game against Braga", concluded the former midfielder of the greens and whites, aiming at the National Championship.
