Probable Benfica XI v Porto: Injuries force Mourinho to reshuffle midfield | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, and Samuel Dahl; Enzo Barrenechea and Richard Ríos; Gianluca Prestianni, Rafa Silva, and Andreas Schjelderup; Vangelis Pavlidis. This should, in principle, be Benfica’s starting eleven for the match against the blue and white emblem.

There are some important absences, but Anatoliy Trubin is untouchable between the posts of the red goal. The defense should consist of Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, and Samuel Dahl. In midfield, Enzo Barrenechea and Richard Ríos come in to replace Leandro Barreiro, who is doubtful, and the injured Fredrik Aursnes.

Andreas Schjelderup should remain on the left side of Benfica’s attack, with Gianluca Prestianni playing on the right half. Rafa Silva is once again an option behind the striker, with the most advanced man likely to be Vangelis Pavlidis.

Benfica will be back on the field this Sunday, March 8, against Porto. The match, counting for the 25th round of Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team managed by Francesco Farioli, will be played at 18:00, at Estádio da Luz.

At the moment, the reds occupy third place in the National Championship standings, with 58 points. Porto is in first place, with 65, while Sporting is in second with 62 (one more game played).
