Benfica’s likely XI v Leverkusen: Mourinho shakes up Champions League | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, Tomás Araújo, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Richard Ríos, Fredrik Aursnes, Georgiy Sudakov, Dodi Lukebakio and Vangelis Pavlidis. This is expected to be Benfica's likely starting eleven for the home match against Bayer Leverkusen.

Needing a win to keep their hopes of qualifying for the next stage alive, José Mourinho's Benfica is expected to make changes to the starting lineup. The manager is likely to make just one change, fielding his strongest team.

Trubin remains in goal, while Dedic - who should be recovered - and Dahl are the full-backs for the Eagles, in a defense completed by Tomás Araújo and Nicolás Otamendi. In midfield, Richard Ríos, Enzo Barrenechea, and Fredrik Aursnes make up the trio.

Further forward, Dodi Lukebakio takes charge of one of the attacking flanks, with Georgiy Sudakov on the other side for the Eagles. Up front, Vangelis Pavlidis is expected to play as the lone striker for the team in red.

Benfica will return to the pitch next Wednesday, November 5th, against Bayer Leverkusen, in a Champions League match. The game against the team led by Kasper Hjulmand will be played at 8:00 PM at Estádio da Luz.
