Sporting v AFS (2025/26): How to watch, line-ups, kick-off times | OneFootball

Sporting Sporting will be back on the pitch next Saturday, December 13, against AVS. The match, part of the 14th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade at 8:30 p.m. against the team led by João Pedro Sousa.

At the moment, the green and whites occupy second place in the National Championship table, with 32 points. Benfica is in third place with 29, while Porto leads the competition with 37 points.

Rui Silva, Iván Fresneda, Ousmane Diomande, Gonçalo Inácio, and Maxi Araújo; Morten Hjulmand and João Simões; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincão, Alisson Santos, and Luis Suárez. This should, in principle, be Rui Borges' starting eleven for Sporting in the 14th round of the National Championship.

Rui Borges will field the strongest central defensive pairing at his disposal, once again relegating Matheus Reis and Eduardo Quaresma to the bench after they started in Munich. As for the flanks, everything should remain the same as in the match against Bayern, with Fresneda and Maxi on each side. Rui Silva continues to be the undisputed starter in goal.

In midfield, Morten Hjulmand should pair up with João Simões, who was one of Sporting's main standouts in the last round of the Champions League. With several absences in attack, Geny should stay on the right, with Geovany Quenda out for two months. Also without Pote, Rui Borges is expected to choose Alisson Santos to start on the left wing, with Trincão – whose return was confirmed by the coach – once again supporting the striker, who should be Luis Suárez.
