Rui Borges will not radically change the starting eleven for Guimarãesif we compare with the initial team presented in the Azores, against Saint Clarein a game of Portuguese Cup.
A trade seems right and on target: John Virginia by Rui Silva. In the defensive quartet, they will remain Eduardo Quaresma e Gonçalo Inácio on the axis, especially because, at the moment, there are no alternatives that have already been used.
On the sides, yes, there are doubts, especially on the left, between Matheus Reis e Maxi Araújo. Both were used in the Ponta Delgada game: the first as a winger, the second as a winger on the right side.
At the core, there are more doubts. Wheelman will be the undisputed leader and, at his side, may appear Morita or João Simões. The Japanese did not face the Saint Clare and the Portuguese was a starter and left in the 75th minute to enter Kochorashvili.
Ahead of them, there is the certainty that Francisco Trincao will be the man in the middle and then there is Alisson, Bloop e Ioannidis for two places. This, of course, if Maxi retreat to the defensive line.
