Odysseas Vlachodimos, Roman Yaremchuk, Meité and Pizzi have overcome COVID and the former pair are likely to start here. Jan Vertonghen should also be clear of COVID in time for Saturday's game but he may only make the bench here. Darwin Nunez only made the bench last time out but should return to the starting XI this weekend. Lazar Rosic is back available and ready to start at centre-back for the away side. Abdu Conte has joined French side Troyes so Pedro Amador will takeover at left-back. Rafael Martins scored the winner last time out and will get the nod over Andre Luis here.
Benfica returned to winning ways last time out after suffering successive defeats to FC Porto. They won 2-0 against FC Paços de Ferreira but only scored once their opponents had gone down to 10 men. Moreirense FC picked up their first away league win of the season last time out - a dream start for new manager Sa Pinto in his first match. They are now a point above relegation. 3:0
