Sporting starter has only failed to score once at Alvalade, eyes on Braga | OneFootball

Luis Suárez returns to Sporting's starting eleven against Braga and, at Alvalade, has only failed to score against Porto in the league

Luis Suárez has scored in two of the three matches already played at Estádio José Alvalade for Liga Portugal Betclic. After scoring Sporting's historic goal in Naples, the Colombian striker returns to the starting eleven and wants to make an impact against Braga.

In the league, Sporting has already hosted Arouca, Porto, and Moreirense. The 'number 79' scored twice against the Beira team and also found the net against the Minho side, only drawing a blank in the Matchday 4 Classic, which ended with a victory for the Dragons.

As such, Suárez also wants to keep up his good form – three goals in the last three games – to score against Braga and continue fighting for the distinction of top scorer in the league. For now, Suárez has five goals, alongside Pote, Vangelis Pavlidis, Samu, Guilherme Schettine, and Clayton.

This season, wearing the green and white stripes, Luis Suárez – valued at 22 million euros – has played ten matches. The Sporting player has featured in every official game so far this season: seven in Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League, and one in the Super Cup. In his 719 minutes on the pitch, the striker has scored six goals and provided three assists.

Sporting will be back in action only next Sunday, October 5, against Braga. The match, part of the eighth round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Carlos Vicens, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 7:15 pm.
