Benfica visit Milan in Europa League opener, probable XI and TV info | OneFootball

Benfica visit Milan at San Siro on Wednesday in their Europa League main-phase opener, kick-off 20h00. The tie brings a reunion with Ruben Amorim and Gonçalo Ramos.

Benfica beat Gil Vicente 3-1 on Sunday in Liga Portugal Betclic matchday six at Estádio da Luz, with two from Vangelis Pavlidis and one from Gianluca Prestianni. According to Glorioso 1904, Marco Silva could make changes, with a likely XI of Anatoliy Trubin, Daniel Banjaqui, Circati, Clément Lenglet, Samuel Dahl, João Palhinha, Fredrik Aursnes, Lukebakio, Sudakov, Schjelderup and Durán.

Marco Silva assessed Milan as a quality side who press selectively. He said they may press more at home given the scale of the game, and when that press is broken they regroup effectively. He does not view them as a team that always presses high, citing their four official matches so far.

Jaden Umeh is out with a right thigh problem, and Alexander Bah, despite recovering from a right shoulder issue, was not called up for the trip to Italy. Both are unavailable.

The match is live on Sport TV 5. Referee Jarred Gillett leads an English crew with assistants Neil Davies and Nick Greenhalgh, fourth official Tony Harrington, VAR Stuart Attwell and AVAR Tomasz Kwiatkowski.
