Sporting brief Vagiannidis on what lies ahead: full-back set to... | OneFootball

Georgios Vagiannidis is set to return to Sporting's starting eleven. The Greek right-back replaces Iván Fresneda in Rui Borges' choices and will be a starter - for the second time since he arrived at Alvalade - in the match of the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Moreirense.

The Hellenic was a starter and played the full match against Famalicão, but lost his place in the Champions League, in the reception to Kairat Almaty. Fresneda played the 90 minutes with the Kazakhs, so that the 'number 13' of Sporting returns to the eleven for the National Championship.

Vagiannidis has shown to be more complete than Fresneda offensively and the numbers back the Greek - and Sofia Oliveira too -  who beats the Spaniard in chances created per game (1.44 x 0.69), accurate passes (47.39 x 34.69) and duels won (6.7 x 6.18). Iván has more recoveries (3.44 x 2.87), but loses the ball more often (10.99 x 9.57).

Sporting will be back on the field next Monday, September 22, against Moreirense, in a match for the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Botelho da Costa will be played at 8:15 pm, at the José Alvalade Stadium.
