Benfica play their fifth Liga Portugal Betclic fixture this Wednesday. The Eagles travel to the Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas Stadium to face Moreirense, in a postponed match from the 3rd round of the league. The Eagles are looking for a win to draw level with Sporting and cut the gap to Porto in the standings.

In their last match, Benfica beat Marítimo 3-0 at the Barreiros, in a game from the 5th round of the league. In the second half, the Luxembourg midfielder grabbed a brace in the 71st minute, and Gianluca Prestianni sealed the final score in the 82nd minute.

Samuel Soares; Daniel Banjaqui, Tomás Araújo, Clément Lenglet and Samuel Dahl; João Palhinha and Leandro Barreiro; Rafa, Georgiy Sudakov and Gianluca Prestianni; Vangelis Pavlidis. This should be the starting eleven chosen by Marco Silva for the clash in Moreira de Cónegos.

Before the match against Moreirense, Marco Silva previewed the contest in the pre-match press conference: "A very difficult game awaits us, at a very difficult ground. Moreirense will force us to be at our very best to take the three points, which is what we want, and if possible with a good performance. That is not always possible, partly because of the opponent in front of us. Moreirense have been performing at a good level and we will have to be at our best", said the coach.

For this Wednesday's fixture, Daniel Banjaqui returns to the Eagles' squad list and should come into the starting eleven. Meanwhile, Jaden Umeh remains sidelined with a right thigh injury, and Alexander Bah is recovering from trauma to his right shoulder.
