The teams of Portimonense and Benfica
Coach Paulo Sérgio is not expected to make any changes to Portimonense’s starting lineup, after all, the team is coming off a 2-1 win over Vitória de Guimarães. The only absence was due to injured goalkeeper Kosuke Nakamura.
Portimonense should enter the field with Vinicius Silvestre; Pedrão, Alemão, Filipe Relvas and Moustapha Seck; Carlinhos, Dener and Lucas Ventura; Sylvester Jasper, Paulinho and Hélio Varela.
On the other hand, the Lisbon team should have one change for Sunday’s match. Goalkeeper Trubin, who started in the 2-0 defeat to RB Salzburg in midweek, is expected to remain on the bench. Samuel Soares will therefore be the starter. The reason for the choice is due to the technical option of coach Roger Schmidt.
Benfica’s lineup should therefore be Samuel Soares; Alexander Bah, António Silva, Nicolas Otamendi and Fredrik Aursnes; João Neves and Kokcu; Ángel Di Maria, João Mário and Rafa Silva; Casper Tengstedt.
