Benfica v Gil Vicente: TV info, predicted line-ups, kick-off time | OneFootball

Benfica will be back on the field next Friday, September 26th, against Gil Vicente. The match against the team led by César Peixoto, valid for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played at Luz and is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 PM.

The Eagles come into this match after a draw with Rio Ave, in José Mourinho's (re)debut at Luz. The Reds lined up with Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Fredrik Aursnes, Georgiy Sudakov, Franjo Ivanovic, and Vangelis Pavlidis.

Needing a win to avoid widening the gap with their direct rivals, José Mourinho's Benfica is expected to field the same eleven, except for Enzo Barrenechea, who is suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

Trubin remains the Reds' goalkeeper, with no changes in defense. Dedic and Dahl are the Eagles' full-backs, with António Silva and Otamendi completing the defense. In midfield, Leandro Barreiro will pair with Richard Ríos – confirmed as a starter – due to Enzo's absence.

Further forward, Georgiy Sudakov owns the left wing of the attack, with Fredrik Aursnes taking charge of the Reds' right flank. Up front, Pavlidis and Ivanovic are expected to form the duo responsible for attacking the opposition's goal.
