- Gonçalo Inácio had a last minute injury against Brugge but should recover on time for Saturday' match.
- On the other hand, Morita, Quaresma and Bragança joined Pote and Nuno Santos on the sidelines and won't be available.
- Vukotic was sent off last weekend and will serve a match ban here. Joel and Seba will feature at the middle of the park.
- Camará could start at the heart of the defense if coach Bacci opts for a 5-man defensive line.
This is an all-or-nothing game for João Pereira. He urgently needs to address the lack of confidence, specially among Trincão and Edwards, Simões performed well on his first run against Brugge, must play here, Harder should also play in this match. An early goal can give some relief and build a high scoring game
