Benfica is considering tactical adjustments for their upcoming match, potentially reshuffling their midfield and attack. Manager Roger Schmidt is weighing options to integrate key players like Andreas schjelderup back into the starting eleven,while also finding the best role for recent signings such as Heorhii Sudakov.The potential changes could see a shift in formation, impacting how Benfica supports forward Fotis pavlidis and approaches the game overall.
Benfica manager José Mourinho will be without Richard Ríos for their upcoming match due to suspension, but remains undecided on who will take his place in the starting eleven. Mourinho simply stated, “Someone else will play.”
Enzo Barrenechea will have a new partner in midfield, potentially Leandro Barreiro, Fredrik Aursnes, or Heorhii Sudakov. This could involve a positional change for one of the players, or a direct replacement. João Veloso and Prestianni are also options, though Manu remains a possibility if fully recovered from his nine-month absence.

Benfica could see Andreas Schjelderup return to the starting lineup, with Leandro Barreiro potentially dropping into a deeper midfield role. This would allow Heorhii Sudakov to play closer to Pavlidis, with Schjelderup taking up a position on the left wing. Alternatively, Franjo Ivanovic is also in contention, but his inclusion would likely mean a shift to a 4-4-2 formation.
