Benfica is set to make changes to their starting eleven for their upcoming clash, according to reports on March 8, 2026. Several players are in contention for a spot as the team prepares for a crucial match.
Andreas Schjelderup is expected to feature, having recently scored for Benfica in a FIFA Club World Cup match against Bayern Munich, as seen in images from Getty Images. Rafa Silva and Prestianni are too potential starters, with both players pictured in recent training sessions.
Leandro Barreiro and Richard RÃos are also in the mix for midfield positions. Samuel Dahl, who has become a reliable presence at left back, is also expected to be available. Veteran defender Nicolás Otamendi and Tomás Araújo are likely to start in central defense. Anatoliy Trubin is expected to start in goal.
The team will be looking to build on recent performances as they navigate a challenging schedule. The potential lineup suggests a blend of experience and emerging talent as Benfica aims to secure positive results.
