Famalicão - Benfica | Likely XI to edge closer to the Champions League | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Damuel Dahl, Richard Ríos, Leandro Barreiro, Fredrik Aursnes, Fianluca Prestianni, Andreas Schjelderup and Franjo Ivanovic are expected to be the players chosen by José Mourinho for the starting XI in the match between Famalicão and Benfica.

With no real surprises, Trubin remains the Portuguese coach’s choice between the posts, as he has been throughout the season. In defense, the only change will be the introduction of Amar Dedic in place of Alexander Bah, joining the pair of António Silva and Otamendi. The left flank, meanwhile, will be handled by Dahl.

In midfield, it is almost certain that Mourinho will once again rely on the trio that started in the previous round against Moreirense, namely Richard Ríos, Leandro Barreiro and Aursnes. Out wide, Prestianni and Schjelderup are back and should line up alongside Ivanovic, using the winning formula from Alvalade.

It should be noted that the match between Benfica and Famalicão is scheduled for this Saturday, May 2, at the home ground of the Minho side, where the Eagles will look to secure their second win of the season after beating Hugo Oliveira’s team 2-0 at the Luz. The match will be broadcast on Sport TV at 6:00 pm and will be officiated by Gustavo Correia.
