Porto v Benfica: How to watch, predicted line-ups, kick-off time | OneFootball

Benfica is set to return to the field next Sunday, October 5th, against Porto. The match against the team led by Francesco Farioli, valid for the eighth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played at the dragon's stadium (Porto) and is scheduled to kick off at 9:15 pm.

The eagles come to this match after a defeat to Chelsea, in José Mourinho's fourth game at Benfica. The reds went to the game with Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Richard Ríos, Fredrik Aursnes, Enzo Barrenechea, Georgiy Sudakov, Dodi Lukebakio and Vangelis Pavlidis.

Forced to win, after the defeat at home to Qarabag, José Mourinho's Benfica should present the same eleven. José Mourinho is expected to repeat the formula used in London, and bet again on a midfield with three units, instead of two, as had happened until the meeting with Chelsea.

Trubin remains the owner of the red goal, with no changes in defense. Dedic and Dahl are the eagles' fullbacks, in a defense that is made up of António Silva and Otamendi. In the middle, José Mourinho will promote the return of the trio formed by Richard Ríos, Enzo Barrenechea and Fredrik Aursnes.

Further forward, Dodi Lukebakio owns one of the attacking corridors, with Sudakov in charge of the other eagles' flank. Up front, Vangelis Pavlidis should function as the sole striker in the red team, thus breaking up the partnership that had been forming with Franjo Ivanovic.
