Benfica
Gil Vicente
- Bah and Neres got back to action last time around and could feature from the outset if Schmidt decides to ring the changes on the wings.
- Arthur Cabral netted a wonderful goal last time around and will be boosted for Sunday's match.
- Alipour is fully recovered but Vitor Campelos should avoid using a pure striker against SL Benfica after yielding good results with wingers Correia, Fujimoto and Murilo upfront.
- Mory Gbane and Kiko Villas Boas are back available after serving a match ban and could feature here. The former is the likeliest to start.
