Manuel Cajuda believes that Sporting will go through many difficulties without Palhinha in the derby. Coates is also low confirmed.
Manuel Cajuda believes that “Benfica have the advantage of playing at home” and that, on the other hand, Sporting has the disadvantage of not having Coates and Palhinha. A factor that Jorge Jesus can try to explore.
“I’m not a wizard, but I believe that if Benfica plays with both spearheads [Darwin e Yaremchuk] and with Rafa behind them, Sporting, without Palhinha, will have many difficulties. Rúben Amorim has Ugarte and Matheus Nunes, but it’s not the same thing. There was also a time when I had two cars. One was a BMW and the other a Fiat 600. It wasn’t the same thing,” says Cajuda a O JOGO, with good disposition and humor. Despite this, the coach born in Olhão argues that “there is 50 percent favoritism for each side. “.
