Sporting ended its participation in the European League on Thursday, after being eliminated by Juventus as a result of a draw (1-1) in Alvalade, and from that moment on, Ruben Amorim will not have to worry too much about the team’s turnover. But today, in Guimarães, you can still make some changes, given the short rest time after welcoming Signora Vecchia.
The biggest doubt concerns the offensive front, where the coach will either be able to choose a mobile attack as he did with Juventus, with Marcus Edwards, Francisco Trincao and Pedro Gonçalves, or with Youssef Chermiti, and, therefore, choose a more stable reference in front of the attack, trying to hold the central defenders and defend the lines forward. a little.
There is doubt in attack and in defense Matheus Reis is expected to enter, resting Gonzalo Inacio, who has had his physical condition managed. In the other two places in the most backward sector, ahead of the inevitable Adan, Ousmane Diumande and Sebastien Coates.
In midfield, the coach must not move, with Ricardo Esgayo, Ugarte, Morita and Nuno Santos choosing this area of the pitch. The biggest mysteries are on the flanks, considering that for the central area of midfield Ugarte and Morita are the two most regular options, as other root options for these positions have little competitive shooting – Mateo Tanlongo, Dario Isogo or Sotiris Alexandropoulos. For teams, there are options like Arthur Gomes or Rochinha, who today returned to Guimarães after leaving the club last summer.
Up front, with Edwards and Pedro Gonçalves in place, the doubt already described remains, with Chermeti having the advantage, given the physical effort made by Trincao, mainly in the defensive vector, in the match against Juventus, in which he showed a lot of concern about An attempt to stop the first phase of construction by the Italians. The alternatives are not many, given the injuries of Paulinho and Giovanni Cabral, who occupied this position in past times.
