Sporting: The best start to the Amorim era

According to Alvalade’s start to the season, the coach has never started so well; 5 wins in 6 matches in 2023/2024

Considering Ruben Amorim’s start to the season with Sporting, since 2020/2021, the coach has never started so well, with five wins and just one draw in six matches. Even at title time, the Green and Whites have not shown better numbers: in the 2020/2021 season, they have four wins, one draw and one defeat after six matches. A tonic that the Lions want to capitalize on and that leaves fans excited after a season that did not go well for Alvalade.

The whites must make changes to the eleven, which should be closer to the ones that have been used most often. The return of Ricardo Egayo, Moreta, Nuno Santos and Pedro Goncalves to the starting line-up is a likely scenario, meaning that Gini Catamo, Daniel Bragança, Mateus Reyes and Francisco Trincao should return to the bench, and could potentially start during the match against.
