Benfica v Gil Vicente: Mourinho must shuffle his line-up | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Leandro Barreiro, Richard Ríos, Fredrik Aursnes, Georgiy Sudakov, Franjo Ivanovic, and Vangelis Pavlidis. This should be the likely starting eleven for Benfica in the match against Gil Vicente.

Needing a win to avoid widening the gap with direct rivals, José Mourinho's Benfica is expected to field the same eleven as in the match against Rio Ave, excluding Enzo Barrenechea, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Trubin remains the goalkeeper for the team, with no changes in defense. Dedic and Dahl are the full-backs for the Eagles, in a defense composed of António Silva and Otamendi. In midfield, Leandro Barreiro pairs with Richard Ríos - confirmed as a starter - due to Enzo's absence.

Further forward, Georgiy Sudakov commands the left side of the attack, with Fredrik Aursnes in charge of the right flank for the team. Up front, Pavlidis and Ivanovic are expected to form the duo responsible for attacking the opponent's goal.

Benfica returns to the field next Friday, September 26th, against Gil Vicente. The match against the team led by César Peixoto, valid for the seventh round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, will be played at Luz and is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 PM.
