Team News
Vitoria de Guimaraes
Benfica
- Úmaro Embaló won't be available here as he cannot face his parent club, he wouldn't feature anyway as he hasn't trained lately.
- Gustavo Silva scored the winner against Gil Vicente and it wouldn't be a surprise if he led the line on Saturday as he's more than capable to feature as the main offensive reference.
- Mikel Villanueva is fully fit and could start at the heart of the defense, replacing Filipe Relvas.
- Despite being held to a draw against FC Arouca, Bruno Lage should resist to make any changes to his side.
- Kokçu will be full of confidence as he scored and assisted last time around. The Turkish player has been important in both defensive and offensive processes.
- Renato Sanches will miss out until the end of the season, joining Bah and Manu Silva on that list.
