Sporting’s likely line-up to face Juventus, Rui Borges forced into changes | OneFootball

Rui Silva, Georgios Vagiannidis, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand and João Simões; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, Pedro Gonçalves and Fotis Ioannidis. This should, in principle, be the starting eleven for Rui Borges’ Sporting for the fourth round of the Champions League.

The Lions’ coach will repeat the defensive line that started the match against Alverca, since Zeno Debast remains unavailable. Diomande will continue to take the Belgian’s place and partner with Inácio. Vagiannidis will come in for Iván Fresneda – who was injured in the last match – together with Maxi, to occupy the flanks, and Rui Silva is the undisputed owner of the goal.

In midfield, Morten Hjulmand should pair up with João Simões, just as in the most recent round of Liga Portugal Betlic. Geny Catamo remains on the right and the attack is expected to be the other sector to undergo changes: Pote continues on the left side, with Trincão supporting the striker, who this time should be Ioannidis.

Sporting will be back on the pitch this Tuesday, November 4th, against Juventus. The match, counting for the fourth round of the Champions League, against the team led by Luciano Spalletti, will be played in Turin at 20:00.

The Lions have already played three matches in the competition, collecting six points. Rui Borges’ men defeated Kairat at Alvalade by 4-1, lost 2-1 away to Napoli, and triumphed over Marseille by 2-1, and are looking for their first European away win of the season.
