Team News
Benfica

- Carreras had an interesting performance against SC Farense but might not feature here as Schmidt is expected to opt for a more defensive option at left-back. Either Aursnes or Morato will start in that role.
- João Neves is a doubt due to an eye injury and might be replaced by João Mário at the middle of the park if he fails to recover.
- Arthur Cabral might get the nod over Tengstedt upfront.
- Roger was demoted into the U23 squad due to disciplinary reasons which gives Yan Said a chance to feature from the bench.
- Abel Ruiz will serve a match ban due to an accumulation of bookings, which paves the way for Banza to lead the line.
- Zalazar scored a brace against Vizela and will likely get his Starting XI spot back.
