Benfica
- Johnathan Buatu has left the club, which means Bruno Morais and Diakhité will likely feature at the heart of the defence.
- Cláudio Falcão went off injured against Santa Clara and is a doubt for Tuesday's match.
- Mohammadi missed training and will likely be kept out of the starting XI here. Marius will deputise.
- Adel Taarabt has fully recovered, leaving Alejandro Grimaldo as the only injury concern for the Eagles.
- Julian Weigl received his fifth yellow card of the season and will miss out on Tuesday. Florentino, who made an impact coming from the bench, will likely replace the former Borussia Dortmund player.
- Seferovic and Carlos Vinicius will compete to start up front.
- Jorge Jesus was appointed as SL Benfica's new manager on Friday, but he will only take over the reins next season.
