Benfica vs Sporting Lisbon lineups and latest team news

Benfica

Benfica are looking to retain their title this and they haven't fared too badly so far despite losing Enzo Fernandez last January and Goncalo Ramos for big money in the summer. Despite that, the injury list is beginning to pile up somewhat and the squad is looking thin on the ground, something that isn't ideal on the back of an away Champions League tie.

Juan Bernat picked up an adductor injury in the week which has ruled him out of this one while the likes of Orkun Kokcu, David Neres and Alexander Bah all remain longer-term absentees.

Predicted lineup

Trubin – Aursnes, Otamendi, Silva, Morato, Neves – Mario, Luis – Di Maria, Guedes, Silva

Sporting Lisbon

Under the guidance of exciting young coach Ruben Amorim, Sporting Lisbon are on track to win their second league title in four years after a blistering start to the campaign.

While their form has been impressive, it must be acknowledged that they have been fortunate with injuries which has allowed Amorim to establish a consistent starting eleven.

The only absentee for the game against Benfica is Geny Centamo, who has been missing for around a month now. Aside from that, Amorim will have to assess his squad after their Thursday night exerts before settling on his chosen eleven.

Predicted lineup

Adan – Essugo, Diomande, Coates, Inacio, Rei – Hjulmand, Braganca – Goncalves, Gyokeres, Edwards

The starting lineups will be announced an hour before the match starts via official club channels.
