Benfica v Estoril preview, probable XI, kick-off time and TV details | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Benfica host Estoril Praia at Estádio da Luz on Monday on matchday four of Liga Portugal Betclic, targeting a win to stay in the title race.

Marco Silva’s side arrive on the back of Europa League progress, having beaten Aarhus 3-1 away last Thursday after a 3-1 victory in Lisbon, securing a place in the league phase. They have scored 28 goals in eight matches this season.

Benfica’s likely XI: Samuel Soares, Alexander Bah, Tomás Araújo, Clément Lenglet, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Leandro Barreiro, Rafa, Georgiy Sudakov, Gianluca Prestianni and Vangelis Pavlidis.

Fredrik Aursnes is a doubt to face Vasco Matos’s team. Jaden Umeh remains sidelined with a right thigh injury and is expected to be out for a while.

With those absences, the coach looks to keep the core of the side used in Europe, aiming to beat Estoril and avoid Porto pulling away after three straight wins.

Kick-off is at 20:15 on 31 August. Live on BTV.

Match officials: referee Hélder Carvalho, assistants José Mira and Francisco Pereira, fourth official José Rodrigues, VAR Tiago Martins, AVAR Rui Silva.
