Sporting v Club Brugge: Champions League preview, how to watch, line-ups | OneFootball

Sporting Sporting returns to the field this Wednesday, November 26th, against Club Brugge. The match, part of the fifth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Nicky Hayen, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade, at 8:00 PM.

The Lions have already played four games in the competition, accumulating seven points. The team led by Rui Borges defeated Kairat at Alvalade, 4-1, lost 2-1 away to Napoli, and triumphed against Marseille, 2-1, and most recently drew with Juventus in Turin (1-1).

Rui Silva, Iván Fresneda, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand and João Simões; Geny Catamo, Geovany Quenda, Francisco Trincão, and Luis Suárez. This is expected to be the starting eleven for Rui Borges' Sporting for the fifth round of the Champions League.

The coach of the Lions will once again opt for the heavyweights, and this is immediately noticeable in the defensive line. Eduardo Quaresma and Matheus Reis return to the bench while Inácio and Diomande resume their positions. Fresneda will take the place of Georgios Vagiannidis, along with Maxi, to occupy the flanks. Rui Silva will once again be the master of the goal.

In the midfield, Morten Hjulmand is expected to pair with João Simões, as the young midfielder has recovered from injury. Geny Catamo returns to the right, and the attack front will be the other sector to undergo changes: Quenda is expected to replace Pote on the left wing, with Trincão supporting the striker, with Suárez in that role.
