Today, Petro de Luanda takes a look at the provisional leadership of Girabola 2023/2024, in anticipation of the 15th round, at Estádio 11 de Novembro, at 4 pm. In second place with 24 points and three games behind, the tricolor team faces Bravos do Maquis do Moxico, ranked seventh with 17 points.

In their stronghold, the Catetão team only thinks about the three points, as they intend to dislodge Progresso da Lunda-Sul, leader of the party with more than 30 clubs with 25 points. This Monday, coach Alexandre Santos, who continues to have a regular campaign in the African Champions Clubs League, recovered the athletes’ physical condition in the last training session, yesterday, as soon as he returned from Libya.

Despite the theoretical advantage, they recognize the invincibility of the Maquisarde team, led by Mário Soares, as they know their opponent and also intend to climb a few steps in the league table. To counter the offensive will of the maquisards led by Dabanda, Bebo and Nandinho, Kinito and Inácio had more careful preparation during training.

In fact, in midfield Anderson and Jared will have the mission of distributing all the plays, but they will have Francis, ex-Petro de Luanda, and Gogoró, players who know the offensive movements of the tricolors. Bravo do Maquis foresees some difficulties in their defense, as Thiago Azulão, Guedes and Gilberto will have their say after the 90 minutes. In the previous round, the team from the city of Luena beat União Recreativo de Malanje by two balls to one, in a match in which Mário Soares’ men dominated the game.

“Bravos do Maquis is a strong opponent”

Petro de Luanda’s coach, Alexandre Santos, told the press at the launch of the game, making it known that Bravo do Maquis is a strong opponent, so it is important to pay attention. Alexandre Santos also mentioned that the maquisardes are going to Luanda with the aim of surprising and if that happens more things could happen during the game on November 11th. “Bravo do Maquis is a strong opponent and that is why we are focused on work so as not to be surprised by the opponent”, says the Petro de Luanda helmsman. In the Maquis squad, coach Mário Soares is keeping an eye on Petro’s main players, as strikers Gilberto and Thiago Azulão are the most targeted and will therefore receive special attention.
