Tondela v Benfica | Live stream, probable line-ups, kick-off times and more | OneFootball

Benfica returns to the Liga Portugal Betclic after a European success midweek. The Eagles, led by José Mourinho – who has already previewed the match –, are preparing to take action against Tondela. Check out some relevant information about the 20th round match below.

After a grueling match on Wednesday and with only a few days of rest before Sunday's game, José Mourinho is expected to field a refreshed team in some positions. In goal, it is most likely that Anatoliy Trubin will remain the choice.

Regarding the defense, Samuel Dahl might be the only certainty. The pair could be either António Silva and Nicolás Otamendi, or António Silva and Tomás Araújo. On the right side, the Special One might opt again for Daniel Banjaqui, following his performance against Estrela da Amadora.

In midfield, the Portuguese coach is likely to rest players like Fredrik Aursnes, Georgiy Sudakov and return to Sidny Cabral, as well as starting Rafa Silva, his first since returning to Luz. In attack, the match against the Beirões could be the perfect opportunity for Ivanovic to showcase himself to the coach.

It is worth remembering that Benfica, currently in third place in the league with 45 points, will visit the home of the second-to-last team, aiming to equal Sporting and close the gap to Porto. The match is scheduled for this Sunday, February 1st, at 8:30 PM, broadcast on Sport TV, and will be officiated by Luís Godinho.
