The career that Paços de Ferreira is doing in the League forces Rúben Amorim to present a lion (almost) at maximum strength to try to move on in the second most important event on the national calendar, the Portuguese Cup, one of the goals of the season from Deportivo.
And despite having some casualties for this match, starting with the team’s top scorer, Pedro Gonçalves, who will have to serve a punishment match after being sent off in the match with Famalicão, the Leonino coach is aware that only a maximum Sporting La Fuerza He will be able to overcome the difficulties that the Badajoz team will put tomorrow in the Alvalade field (9:15 p.m.), even with what happened with his rival Benfica on the last day of the championship.
So, contrary to what happened in the third round game, with Sacavenense, Rúben Amorim should only make minor changes to his base eleven, and in addition to the replacement of Pedro Gonçalves there should only be two more novelties in the Leonine eleven: Maximiano and Nuno Mendes.
The young goalkeeper should start over in the Portuguese Cup (he had already played against Sacavenense), with the possibility of maintaining that status in the next official match, with Mafra (on the 15th, for the League Cup). Nuno Mendes, a regular left-back who could not face Famalicão due to injury, continues to train under clinical surveillance but is reinstated in the squad, showing signs that he will be able to regain his place.
The third novelty has to do with the replacement of Pedro Gonçalves and there are several candidates on the squad. Without being able to count on Jovane, who remains in the care of the medical department for a hip problem, there is the hypothesis of the Brazilian Tabata, who has given good answers in recent meetings and may be the first starter this season, but also Tiago Tomás, a Versatile forward who was Rúben Amorim’s first choice earlier in the season. And the possibility that João Mário takes the field, entering Matheus Nunes through the center of the field.
