Benfica’s likely line-up for trip to Tondela: Lage tweaks tactical set-up | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Richard Ríos, Fredrik Aursnes, Kerem Akturkoglu, Franjo Ivanovic and Vangelis Pavlidis - this is the probable eleven of Bruno Lage for the match between Benfica and Tondela.

In what will be the second challenge of the reds in the National Championship, Bruno Lage will change a piece compared to the last match against Fenerbahçe. Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi and Samuel Dahl secure the goal of Anatoliy Trubin.

As for the midfield, Richard Ríos - the most expensive reinforcement in the history of the Club of Light - will be alongside Enzo Barrenechea. The wings continue with Fredrik Aursnes on the right and Kerem Akturkoglu on the left. Franjo Ivanovic will join Vangelis Pavlidis in the front of the attack.

Bruno Lage's bet on Franjo Ivanovic is tied to the attempt to put more men in the opposing penalty area, in a match that is expected to be totally controlled by Benfica. The team from Beira rose to the Primeira Liga this year and has, so far, two losses in the competition.

The match between Benfica and Tondela will be played at the Estádio da Luz, next Saturday, August 23. The kick-off of the match will be given at 8:30 pm. The refereeing team for the match against Ivo Vieira's team is already known (Find out more HERE).
