Team News
Benfica
Boavista
- Leandro Barreiro picked up the 5th yellow card of the season against Santa Clara and serves a match ban, which could open the Starting XI door to either Nuno Félix or João Rego since Florentino, Renato Sanches and Manu are all injured.
- Bruma will likely bring fresh legs out wide after missing out in midweek.
- Kurzawa, van Ginkel and Steven Vitória should make their first start with Boavista here.
- Lito Vidigal should opt for an ultra defensive approach in order to try to stop Benfica' attacking power.
