The coveted derby between Benfica and Sporting, which on October 30 was canceled due to the wet floor conditions not guaranteeing the physical integrity of the players, will take place this Wednesday, at 7 pm, in Luz, with coaches demonstrating the natural desire to end that 6th round of Liga Una Seguros with a victory.
Winner of 16 of the last 18 duels, Marcel Matz prefers to think about Benfica’s future. “The face-to-face is favorable, but we are always worried about the next game. What happened is down to history. This is part of a 1st phase necessary for the growth of the teams. It’s important to test some things, give opportunities to some players and win», declared the coach incarnated to BTV.
Gerson Amorim, from Sporting, reinforced expectations for the derby in the fact of having the complete team, something that did not count against Académica S. Mamede at the weekend. “We had some players with physical problems, but now they are all available. Service was very important in this game for us to pack. The team did well, especially in attack, something that will be very important in this derby», he justified.
