Schjelderup or Akturkoglu? Benfica v Fenerbahçe starting line-up revealed | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup is expected to start in the Benfica - Fenerbahçe match, the second leg of the play-off to qualify for the Champions League group stage. It seems that the 21-year-old will earn the trust of Bruno Lage, relegating Kerem Akturkoglu to the substitutes' bench once again.

In the match against Tondela, Andreas Schjelderup started. Despite not scoring, the winger gave excellent indications in the 67 minutes he was on the pitch, assisting Fredrik Aursnes for Benfica's second goal in the third round match of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

Therefore, according to information from the newspaper Record, Kerem Akturkoglu will again be on the substitutes' bench. This decision by Bruno Lage comes after the player showed some displeasure at the end of the match against Tondela, which caused some controversy.

It seems that Kerem Akturkoglu was upset with the timing of his entry into the game, as well as his performance. In recent weeks, José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe has shown a lot of interest in the player. However, Rui Costa has closed the door to his departure from Benfica, believing in the player's abilities.

Benfica will be back in action next Wednesday, at 8:00 PM, hosting José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe at the Estádio da Luz, after a goalless draw in Turkey. The match is the second leg of the play-off to access the group stage of the Champions League and is of utmost importance for the reds.
