Team News

Benfica
Bologna
  • Tiago Gouveia is back in training for Benfica, leaving just Renato Sanches as the home side's only confirmed absentee.
  • Bologna have four players missing for Wednesday's game at Benfica, including Riccardo Orsolini.
  • Samuel Iling-Junior may deputise on the right flank.

Prediction

  • Benfica made it five wins on the spin at the weekend as they snuck past Vitoria de Guimaraes on home turf. They have won all but one of 11 home games this season.
  • Bologna are gradually improving having extended their unbeaten run to three games with a 2-2 draw at Juventus over the weekend. The Italian side remain inconsistent on their travels, however.
  • This should be a fairly comfortable victory for Benfica.
