Big game on Thursday, for both the club and the coach. If Sporting does not advance, I predict Boloni will get the sack.
However, I feel confident with the 1-0 lead and the home field advantage. :thumbsup:
Injury Report: Tiago continues in net for the injured Nelson. Dimas and Quiroga are still not ready for action. Rui Bento is out for the next 2 weeks, and Jardel is still questionable with his dodgy knee. The big question mark is who will replace Rui Bento. Barbosa would give more offense, while Hugo or Diogo would be the more defensive choice.
My pick? Start the rookie, Hugo Viana!!! There is already talk of using him in a role similar to the one Duscher played for us. If he can fill that void, it will go a long way to strengthening what has been the weakest part of our lineup!
Possible Lineup:
Tiago; Cesar Prates, Babb, Beto, Rui Jorge; Paulo Bento, Hugo Viana; JVP, Sa Pinto; Niculae, Jardel
