Africa-Press – Angola. With the aim of getting back to winning ways, putting an end to a fast of three matches without a win, Sagrada Esperança will face Sporting de Cabinda today, at 15:00, in their stadium, in anticipation of the 22nd round of the National Football Championship of Division I, Girabola ‘2021/2022.
The match was anticipated due to the involvement of the national champions in the League of African Champions Clubs, whose debut takes place on the 11th of the current year, against Wydad de Casablanca, at the Mohamed V Stadium, on the first round of Group
D. Norte, the Lundas play a decisive card to stave off the crisis of bad results after the defeat against Desportivo da Lunda-Sul (1-0), and the draws against 1º de Agosto (0-0) and Kabuscorp do Palanca (1- 1).
Another intention is not to lose sight of and continue to pressure the championship commander, Petro de Luanda, 47 points. Playing as hosts, and after winning the first round, 21, at the opponent’s home, the diamonds are favorites to win the three points. For that reason, Roque Sapiri’s pupils will have to approach the challenge with the Sporting team as if it were a final. The team from Cabinda, seventh, with 23, wants to change the direction of the current journey in the competition, as they have six victories, five defeats and an equal number of draws.
In case of victory against the “lions”, the “lundas” will add 41 points, in second place, and are six points behind the leader.
The two teams will certainly try to make the most of each other’s strengths, although Sagrada has a stronger team both collectively and individually.
The two formations will have to approach the challenge with defensive caution without neglecting the attack, in order to guarantee the three points. With these arguments, an excellent football show is expected, because when these teams face each other, they provide good games to the spectators.
The journey continues on the 12th, with the following challenges: Petro de Luanda-Bravos do Maquis, Académica do Lobito-Progresso Sambizanga, Sporting-Williete, both from Benguela, and Interclube-Desportivo da Huíla. The following day, Cuando Cubango FC-Kabuscorp do Palanca, Recreativo da Caála-Desportivo da Lunda-Sul and 1º de Agosto- Recreativo do Libolo play.
