Sporting CP's head coach stunned both supporters and analysts by blending seasoned veterans with fresh young talent in his lineup—making a powerful statement before the much-anticipated showdown. Several rising talents are being handed a rare chance to shine, while a few senior stars have been rested ahead of the new season.
In a surprising move, Amorim has sidelined one of his trusted midfield mainstays, handing academy product Miguel Menino a rare chance to shine on the big stage. Fans are also thrilled to see striker Viktor Gyökeres leading the charge up front, hoping to build on his explosive form.
Defensively, Amorim is trying out a fresh setup, advancing his fullbacks further up the field — a strategic adjustment that could disrupt West Ham’s defensive structure.
With kickoff fast approaching, all eyes are on how this revamped Sporting squad will perform against West Ham’s physical, high-pressing setup.
