Gonçalo Brandão has an ace up his sleeve for Benfica v Casa Pia | OneFootball

In his first game in charge of Casa Pia, Gonçalo Brandão is preparing a surprise for the visit to Luz. According to reports, the new coach of the “gansos” is expected to make some changes to the team against Benfica, in order to change the course the team has taken in previous matches.

As reported by the newspaper Record in its Saturday edition, November 8, the Pina Manique club, which has been without a coach since the departure of João Pereira, wants to put an end to its poor run of results and, for that reason, plans to field a renewed team, bringing the footballer back to the trio of central defenders in the match against José Mourinho’s team.

Thus, Goulart will be one of Gonçalo Brandão’s novelties, after losing his starting spot in the last match, where Casa Pia lost to Estrela Amadora by 5-3. In that match, the previous coach chose to bet on the trio of José Fonte, Kaique, and David Souza, a sector that has seen a lot of rotation this season.

On the other hand, the “gansos” striker, Cassiano, aims to make history on the visit to the “encarnados’” home ground. As previously reported, the 36-year-old Brazilian is one goal away from becoming Casa Pia’s top scorer in the top tier of Portuguese football and hopes to achieve that milestone as soon as tomorrow.

It should be noted that, before the third international break, Benfica will take the field this Sunday, November 9, for another round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, hosting Casa Pia. The match is scheduled for 8:30 pm at Estádio da Luz and will be broadcast exclusively on BTV.
