Benfica v Tondela: TV info, probable line-ups, referee, absences and more | OneFootball

Benfica hosts Tondela this Wednesday, October 29, at 8:45 PM. The match pertains to the quarter-finals of the League Cup and marks the Eagles' debut in this edition of the competition. The Reds aim to defend the title they won in 2024/25 against Sporting, in a penalty shootout.

In the pre-match press conference, José Mourinho admitted he will make some changes, but no more than four or five. Regarding, for example, Nicolás Otamendi - whose future has been much talked about - the Benfica coach assured his starting position, praising the stance of the Club of Light's captain, despite being 37 years old.

While names like Franjo Ivanovic, Gianluca Prestianni, Andreas Schjelderup, Leandro Barreiro, and Rafael Obrador seem to have a guaranteed spot in Benfica – Tondela, there are some doubts about which of the usual starters will rest (António Silva or Tomás Araújo, Enzo Barrenechea or Richard Ríos, among others).
