Gil Vicente v Benfica | Live stream, line-ups, kick-off and more | OneFootball

In the farewell to the Champions League, Benfica returns to action in the Liga Portugal Betclic, where they will face Gil Vicente in the 24th round. In a duel where the Eagles seek to achieve an unprecedented record, check out some pertinent information about the match that will take place in Barcelos.

It is noteworthy that this match will mark the return of José Mourinho to Benfica's bench, after the Special One was absent from the Champions League match against Real Madrid. Facing the fifth-placed team in the championship, the Special One is unlikely to take it easy in his selections.

As usual, Anatoliy Trubin is expected to be the goalkeeper for the Reds against Gil Vicente. In defense, Mourinho is likely to make only one change compared to the quartet that played in Madrid. Alexander Bah is expected to join Tomás Araújo, Nicolás Otamendi, and Samuel Dahl.

In the midfield, there are some doubts, but no lack of options. Since Fredrik Aursnes has been playing at the limit of his capabilities, it is quite possible that the Norwegian will be rested, with Richard Ríos and Enzo Barrenechea likely to step in. In the forward sector, Rafa Silva and Andreas Schjelderup are expected to start again, supporting Vangelis Pavlidis, and Dodi Lukebakio is likely to occupy the right flank.

The kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 PM, with João Gonçalves as the referee, and it will be broadcast on Sport TV.
