Benfica v Vitória: Eagles shake things up for title run-in | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, Alexander Bah, Tomás Araújo, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Richard Ríos, Leandro Barreiro, Dodi Lukebakio, Georgiy Sudakov, Andreas Schjelderup, and Franjo Ivanovic are expected to be José Mourinho's picks for the clash between Benfica and Vitória de Guimarães.

As the Eagles enter the final seven rounds of the Liga Portugal Betclic, every point counts in the fight for the national championship. With some absences, José Mourinho, whose suspension has been temporarily lifted by the TAD, is expected to make some changes.

The choice for the Eagles' goalkeeper is not expected to change, with Trubin taking on the role of keeping a clean sheet. In defense, there will be two changes, with the departures of António Silva and Amar Dedic, both suspended, and the returns of Bah and Otamendi. Tomás Araújo and Dahl will retain their starting positions.

In midfield, José Mourinho is unlikely to make any significant changes, only creating the possibility for Georgiy Sudakov, who hasn't played recently, to have the opportunity to gain minutes in place of Rafa Silva. However, the major change might occur in the attack, with Ivanovic claiming a spot in the starting eleven, given his recent performances against Porto and Arouca.

Remember that the match between Benfica and Vitória de Guimarães is scheduled for the afternoon of this Saturday, March 21, at Estádio da Luz. The kickoff is set for 18:00, with Luís Godinho officiating. The match will be broadcast on BTV, and you can listen to the commentary on Benfica FM.
