Casa Pia v Benfica | How to watch, likely XI, kick-off time and more | OneFootball

With the final international break of the season now over, Benfica are getting ready to return to action, with an away trip to Casa Pia in a match for the 28th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. Below, check out some of the key information regarding the clash, such as broadcast details, the starting lineup, as well as the referee appointed for the match.

As José Mourinho mentioned in the press conference, all the international players have returned to training. However, the Special One explained that there are still some doubts in certain areas of the pitch, particularly in midfield, where Leandro Barreiro is being reassessed by the coaching staff after the number 18 returned from international duty with some physical complaints.

As for the starting eleven, Anatoliy Trubin is set to start in goal. In defence, Tomás Araújo and Samuel Dahl are guaranteed starters, with the only remaining questions being who will partner at centre-back: António Silva or Nicolás Otamendi, and at right-back: Alexander Bah or Daniel Banjaqui.

In midfield, if Leandro Barreiro is not fit, the most likely scenario is for Richard Ríos to once again partner Enzo Barrenechea. Further forward, Andreas Schjelderup will continue on the left wing, while on the opposite side Mourinho will have to choose between Dodi Lukebakio and Gianluca Prestianni. Rafa Silva is also expected to return to the starting lineup. Up front, Vangelis Pavlidis is expected to keep his place.

It should be remembered that Benfica face Casa Pia again this season after the Eagles and Geese shared the points in the first meeting, following a 2-2 draw on 9 November at the Estádio da Luz. It is worth noting that the match is scheduled for 8:45 pm this Monday, 6 April, with live coverage on Sport TV and Hélder Carvalho as the referee.
