- SL Benfica have signed Kokcu, who had a promising pre-season. Expect him to feature in the middle of the park alongside Aursnes.
- Di María was also signed over the summer, which will be a huge boost for the Eagles' season. Expect him to be confident in his first match after his return to the club.
- On the other hand, Gonçalo Ramos has left for Paris Saint Germain, which is a huge blow. Musa will likely lead the line.
- Morato and António Silva might feature at the heart of the defence, relegating Otamendi to the bench.
- Evanílson will miss out through injury, but he was not expected to start anyway.
- Diogo Costa should be fully fit for the Super Cup.
- Pepê might start at right-back if João Mário doesn't recover on time.
- FC Porto have made good signings in Nico González, Alan Varela and Fran Navarro, but only the latter is likely to start.
