Exciting Changes in Benfica’s Starting Eleven
Benfica has unveiled its starting eleven for the upcoming match against Arouca, scheduled for Saturday night. This game marks the ninth round of the championship, and notable changes have been implemented by coach José Mourinho.
New Additions to Benfica’s Starting Eleven
The Benfica lineup features several strategic adjustments:
- Trubin as goalkeeper
- Aursnes, Tomás Araújo, Otamendi, and Dahl as defenders
- Midfield trio: Enzo Barrenechea, Richard Ríos, and Sudakov
- Forwards: Lukebakio, Pavlidis, and Prestianni
Key Changes in the Squad
António Silva will not be part of the starting eleven. Tomás Araújo is expected to team up with Otamendi in central defense, while Aursnes takes Dedic’s place on the right after the latter’s injury.
An exciting development for Benfica is the return of Argentine winger Prestianni. After a successful stint at the Under-20 World Cup, he will make his starting debut. His inclusion aims to enhance the team’s attacking capabilities.
These adjustments are anticipated to provide Benfica with a competitive edge in their pursuit of victory against Arouca.
