Benfica’s probable XI vs Napoli: Mourinho goes all out in UCL | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Richard Ríos, Fredrik Aursnes, Georgiy Sudakov, Leandro Barreiro, and Vangelis Pavlidis. This is likely to be Benfica's starting eleven in the match against Napoli.

Needing a win to keep their hopes alive for advancing to the next stage, José Mourinho's Benfica is not expected to make any changes to the starting lineup, compared to the last game against Sporting (1-1). The coach is determined to secure the three points.

Trubin remains in goal, while Dedic and Dahl are the full-backs for the Eagles, in a defense composed of António Silva and Nicolás Otamendi. In the midfield, Richard Ríos, Enzo Barrenechea, and Leandro Barreiro form the trio ahead of the South American duo.

On the wings, Fredrik Aursnes returns to play in place of the injured Dodi Lukebakio, with Georgiy Sudakov taking charge of the left flank of the Eagles' attack. Up front, Vangelis Pavlidis is expected to operate as the lone striker for the team in red.

Benfica will return to the field next Wednesday, December 10th, against the Italians from Napoli, in a match for the sixth round of the Champions League. The match against the team led by Antonio Conte will be played at 8:00 PM, at Estádio da Luz.
