Kritsyuk will start in goal if recovered. Otherwise, Andrew Silva will have another opportunity to start. Ivo Vieira might rotate given that the hosts are in European action next week.

Juan Delgado and Fernando Fonseca are in competition to start at right-back. New signing Nigel Thomas could make his first start, which would force Djaló to start in a deeper role.
