Champions League: Chelsea v Benfica, how to watch, line-ups, kick-off | OneFootball

Benfica will take to the field again next Tuesday, September 30, against Chelsea. The match against the team led by Enzo Maresca, valid for the second round of the Champions League group stage, will be played at Stamford Bridge (London) and is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM.

The Eagles come to this match after a victory against Gil Vicente, in José Mourinho's second game at Luz. The team played with Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Richard Ríos, Fredrik Aursnes, Schjelderup, Georgiy Sudakov, Franjo Ivanovic, and Vangelis Pavlidis.

Needing a win after the home defeat to Qarabag, José Mourinho's Benfica is expected to field the same eleven, excluding Schjelderup, who is likely to be replaced by Enzo Barrenechea, who was suspended in the last game. This change should move Aursnes back to the Eagles' wing.

Trubin remains the goalkeeper for the Eagles, 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, José Mourinho will promote the return of the duo formed by Richard Ríos and Enzo Barrenechea.

Further up, Dodi Lukebakio owns one of the attacking flanks - confirmed by José Mourinho - with Fredrik Aursnes taking charge of the other Eagles' wing. Up front, Sudakov is expected to support Benfica's sole striker, Vangelis Pavlidis.
