Benfica v Vitória on the horizon, Bah has reason to smile | OneFootball

Alexander Bah will return to the starting lineup against Vitória de Guimarães. It has been determined that the Danish right-back will be back in the options for Benfica, as José Mourinho will not be able to count on Amar Dedic, who was sent off in the match against Arouca.

Thus, as reported by the newspaper Record, the Eagles' number 6 will once again start in Benfica's lineup, after having started the match against AFS, where he scored the first of the three goals that secured the red and white team's victory in the championship.

The same source indicates that the Dane was not in the plans to start against Guimarães, as Mourinho intended to continue betting on Dedic. However, due to the violent behavior the Bosnian displayed in the last match, he is unavailable for the game.

Therefore, Bah is set to be the new starter in a defensive lineup that promises to be unprecedented this season. The Dane has never before played alongside Tomás Araújo, Nicolás Otamendi, and Samuel Dahl as a starter. On the other hand, it should be noted that the team has been showing several weaknesses in that sector.

This season, playing for Benfica, Alexander Bah - valued at 9 million euros - has already played a total of 4 official matches, all of them in the Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 161 minutes he was on the field, the number 6 recorded one goal.
