Team News

Benfica
Real Sociedad
  • Benfica are without Alexander Bah and Angel Di Maria for Tuesday's welcome of Real Sociedad.
  • Fredrik Aursnes may deputise at right-back in the absence of Bah.
  • Martin Merquelanz is Real Sociedad's only confirmed absentee for Tuesday's trip to Benfica.
  • Takefusa Kubo could start at Brais Mendez's expense on the right.

Prediction

  • Benfica warmed up for their meeting with Real Sociedad with a 4-1 win at SC Lusitania in the Portuguese Cup on Friday. They have lost just the once at home this season, though that did come in the Champions League against Salzburg.
  • Real Sociedad have won five of their last six with a 2-1 loss at Atletico Madrid the blip on the record book. La Real have won only two of five away games this season, however.
  • In Lisbon, Benfica will fancy their chances of securing all the spoils.
