Sporting v Gil Vicente (2025/26): TV, likely XI, times and... | OneFootball

Sporting will return to action this Saturday, May 16, against Gil Vicente. The match, part of the 34th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the side coached by César Peixoto, will kick off at 8:30 pm at the José Alvalade Stadium.

At the moment, the green and whites sit second in the National Championship standings, with 79 points. Porto (85) are in first place, while Benfica are third with 77 points.

Rui Silva, Georgios Vagiannidis, Eduardo Quaresma, Gonçalo Inácio and Maxi Araújo; Hidemasa Morita and Daniel Bragança; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves and Luis Suárez. This is expected to be Sporting’s starting eleven for the match against the side from Minho.

Rui Borges is expected to make two changes to the starting eleven compared to the team that beat Rio Ave (4-1) last time out, with Georgios Vagiannidis coming into the right side of defense, forcing Eduardo Quaresma to move into the center of defense due to Ousmane Diomande’s suspension.

In midfield, Morten Hjulmand, still injured, once again forces Hidemasa Morita to drop deeper, meaning Daniel Bragança will take up the 'number 8 role'. Further forward, Geny Catamo is expected to come in for Luís Guilherme, while Pedro Gonçalves will operate on the left side of midfield. Francisco Trincão will support striker Luis Suárez.
