Benfica vs Burnley Lineups, Match Preview, and Team Information
Benfica
The Lisbon outfit will look to defend their domestic title and with the way the team is performing during the preseason, it seems that nothing has changed since the last time they played in the league. Benfica won all four friendly matches this summer with ease and will be aiming to continue that good form against the English side. There were three big-time additions to the best team in Portugal, Orkun Kokcu was brought in from Feyenoord, David Jurasek arrived on a deal from Slavia Prague and Angel Di Maria returned to the club where he made a name for himself.
Potential lineup: Vlachodimos, Silva, Otamendi, Jurasek, Bah, Aursnes, Mario, Kokcu, Neves, Di Maria, Ramos.
Burnley
The English team quickly returned to the Premier League and the aim now is to keep that status. But, it's easier said than done. The management didn't hold the funds in acquiring new players. The biggest transfer was the one of Zeki Amdouni who arrived from Swiss team Basel. Goalkeeper James Trafford came over from Man City's U21 squad while Jordan Beyer and Dara O'Shea will strengthen the defensive part of the team. Burnley, thus far, played only one friendly match, they lost to the Belgian outfit Genk with two unanswered goals. Jordan Beyer and Josh Brownhill are likely to miss the game through injury.
Potential lineup: Trafford, Ekdal, O'Shea, Taylor, Roberts, Cork, Bastien, Twine, Zaroury, Obafemi, Weghorst.
Player to Watch: Goncalo Ramos
It is not hard to find a player who stands out above the rest when we look at these two teams. Goncalo Ramos has been a tremendous fit for Benfica leading the team in scoring and making it known around Europe about his talents. It is no wonder why plenty of the best clubs on the continent are looking for a transfer shortly.
Ramos was developed in Benfica's youth system and he has been a part of the first-team setup for the past three years. He has scored 41 goals and delivered 16 assists in 106 games. The 22-year-old has been capped by Portugal's national team seven times scoring four goals including getting on the scoresheet during last year's World Cup.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
