Mourinho has headache before Casa Pia, Benfica win internal battle | OneFootball

Benfica head into their next challenge, against Casa Pia, with José Mourinho facing a doubt in the attacking department. Dodi Lukébakio and Gianluca Prestianni are both in good form and ready to alternate in the starting eleven. The situation had already occurred before the competitive break and should continue until the end of the season.

. Prestianni started against Vitória Guimarães, replacing Lukébakio, who had been in the starting lineup in the previous match against Arouca. That was the Belgian international’s first start since the injury he suffered in November.

José Mourinho appreciates the qualities of both players, although the Belgian’s profile is a better fit for his idea of the game. Even so, the young Argentine’s development has been clear. The Benfica coach sees both as important pieces.

Lukébakio also underlined his good form while on duty with the Belgium national team. The winger scored three goals in two matches and started against Mexico. Prestianni, meanwhile, was called up by Lionel Scaloni but did not play any minutes. Even so, he continues to gain ground in Benfica’s plans.

It should be remembered that the match between Benfica and Casa Pia is scheduled for this Monday, April 6, at 8:45 pm, in Rio Maior. The Liga Portugal Betclic Matchday 28 clash will be broadcast on Sport TV and officiated by Hélder Carvalho.
