- Djaló missed out against Napoli in midweek and is doubtful for Sunday. Bruma will replace him if he fails to recover.
- This will be a special match for Pizzi, who faces his former team.
- If fully fit, Al Musrati will likely start in the middle of the park. Otherwise, Moutinho could partner Zalazar in midfield.
- Involved in controversy with the Benfica supporters, Cabral redeemed himself with a decisive goal last time out and may lead the line here.
- Florentino is an option to feature in the Benfica engine room given their opponents' strength up front.
- António Silva will bring fresh legs to the heart of the defence after serving a ban in midweek.
