Benfica v Casa Pia: How to watch, predicted line-up, kick-off time | OneFootball

Benfica, after yet another European appearance, returns to domestic competitions. In the next round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, the Club from Luz will host Casa Pia, a match for the 11th round of the competition, which will take place at Estádio da Luz at 8:30 pm.

The reds and whites come into this match after another defeat in the Champions League, against Leverkusen. In that match, they lined up with the following eleven: Anatoliy Trubin, Fredrik Aursnes, Tomás Araújo, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Richard Ríos, Dodi Lukebakio, Leandro Barreiro, Georgiy Sudakov, and Vangelis Pavlidis.

Back in the league, where they are looking to close the gap to their rivals in the standings, José Mourinho will have to make some changes to the starting eleven, due to some major absences, namely the suspension of Nicolás Otamendi.

Regarding the likely starting eleven for Sunday’s match, Trubin should remain in goal. In defense, the only change will be Otamendi’s exit and António Silva’s inclusion, with Aursnes and Dahl completing the defensive quartet alongside Tomás Araújo.

In the other areas, the Ríos - Barrenechea duo will continue on the pitch, as will Dodi Lukebakio and Georgiy Sudakov. It remains to be seen whether Leandro Barreiro will keep his place in the starting lineup, or if he will give way to Gianluca Prestianni or Andreas Schjelderup. Up front, the bet will continue to be Pavlidis.
