It will be the third time that the two Lisbon rivals have met in the League Cup final. The game that decides the “winter champion” will be played this Saturday, starting at 7:45 pm, at the Leiria Municipal Stadium and will be broadcast live on SIC and the SIC Notícias website.
Ricardo Araújo Pereira and César Mourão anticipate the final of the League Cup between Benfica and Sporting, with little or no impartial predictions and wishes that are difficult to fulfill.
On the ‘red’ side, Ricardo Araújo Pereira is hoping that Tomás Araújo will score three headed goals, without the rival’s star being able to prevent this feat.
“I’m counting on the fact that Tomás Araújo scores a hat-trick with a header. It could be from corners, at a time when it’s being scored by Gyökeres, who can do nothing in the face of Tomás Araújo’s drive and strength”, said the program’s host “This is Making Fun of Who You Work with”, pointing to Benfica’s victory by… 15-0.
On the other side of the Second Circular, César Mourão insists on the Swedish striker’s genius in deciding the winner of the trophy in Leiria.
“The only player who has made a beautiful mask for 60 or so times is Gyökeres, and Benfica will see this up close in this final”, said the presenter of ‘Terra Nossa’, predicting 3 to 2 in favor of the ‘lions’.
