Vitória SC bounced back from a frustrating 2-2 draw in midweek as they beat SC Covilhã in the league cup. Pepa's men, however, lost their focus in the final minutes of the match against FC Arouca, which cannot happen against stronger opposition like their next opponents. SL Benfica are enjoying a wonderful run of form, winning all six matches in the league so far. They put in a wonderful display against Boavista FC last time out, with free-flowing attacking football that should be on show once again on Saturday. This should be an entertaining affair since both sides will seek the win from the start. Pepa's men are not expected to park the bus like most of SL Benfica's opponents in the league, and a lot of chances are expected here. 1:3
Sacko will return to the starting XI as João Ferreira cannot face his parent club. Nicolas Janvier netted a brace in midweek and will push for a start, but he's unlikely to do so given André André and Tiago Silva are enjoying a good run of form. Alfa Semedo and Tomás Handel will be in competition for the defensive midfielder role. André Almeida, Seferovic and Svilar won't feature as they remain injured. However, none of them were expected to start. Diogo Gonçalves is doubtful after coming off injured against Boavista FC. Gilberto or Valentino Lazaro will deputise if he fails to recover. Despite facing Barcelona on Wednesday, SL Benfica coach Jorge Jesus will opt against ringing the changes on Saturday and will probably select a similar starting XI to the one that defeated Boavista FC on Monday.
