Pepe got injured prior to the International break and might not feature here. Ivan Marcano would be his likely replacement. Otávio is also doubtful for Friday's match. André Franco replaced him last time around and might feature once again if the Portuguese International fails to recover. Marko Grujic could also replace Otávio if Sérgio Conceição opts for a more physical midfield. Vitinha made an impact from the bench against FC Vizela and could replace Abel Ruiz upfront. With muscular discomfort, Al Musrati might be rested here, with Uros Racic starting in the middle of the park. Djaló, Medeiros and Lainez will be in competition to start out wide.
