How to Watch Vitoria vs Sporting Lisbon
New Sporting Lisbon coach Rui Borges takes charge of the team for just the second time, when they travel to his former club Vitoria Guimaraes on Friday in the Primeira Liga.
Borges became Sporting’s third manager of the season, having been unveiled on Boxing Day, and began his stint in charge with a 1-0 win over Benfica.
That was an impressive start but he and his team face another stiff test on Thursday, when they head to the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques to face an in-form Vitoria team.
Daniel Sousa has filled the void left by Borges and this will be the first game in charge for the former Braga and Arouca manager.
The hosts have lost just once in their nine games in all competitions and they have only suffered one home defeat this season – a 0-3 defeat to Porto in September.
Despite that run, Vitoria are still outside the top four and are 16 points behind the leaders Sporting.
