THE Benfica hosts the Alverca team this Monday, in a game that ends the tenth round of the I League, at Estádio da Luz, starting at 8:15 pm (Mainland Portugal time).
Marco Silva has some positive headaches to discuss with his technical team, as he saw some regular substitutes shine in the quarter-finals of the League Cup and they may deserve to continue their good performance.
These are the cases of Sudakov and Dodi Lukebakio, who scored goals in the last game and were the drivers of the Reds’ victory, although the Ukrainian midfielder could play further forward on the field, after playing a double pivot role in the middle.
Prestianni and Pavlidis should return to the starting eleven, as well as Tomás Araújo and Samuel Soares, after being on the bench in the last match.
One of the questions comes in midfield, as Aursnes should once again be an option, but João Palhinha could be passed over for another player, in order to give other characteristics to the game of Marco Silva’s team.
Benfica-Alverca’s kick-off is scheduled for 8:15 pm (Mainland Portugal time) this Monday, and will be judged by Bruno Pires Costa, from the Viana do Castelo Football Association, who will have as assistants Nelson Pereira and João Morte, as fourth referee José Carlos Rodrigues, as VAR Luís Ferreira and as AVAR João Bessa Silva.
