Champions League: Fenerbahçe v Benfica, how to watch, line-ups, time | OneFootball

Bruno Lage's Benfica will face José Mourinho's Fenerbahçe next Wednesday, August 20th. The match, which will be played at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, is for the first leg of the playoff to qualify for the 2025/26 Champions League edition.

The eagles come into this match following a 1-0 victory at Reboleira against Estrela da Amadora. Bruno Lage chose to field Anatoliy Trubin, Amar Dedic, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Samuel Dahl, Enzo Barrenechea, Richard Ríos, Fredrik Aursnes, Andreas Schjelderup, Vangelis Pavlidis and Franjo Ivanovic.

Regarding the probable Benfica eleven for the match with the Turks, Bruno Lage is likely to make only one change with Franjo Ivanovic being relegated to the bench, giving way to Leandro Barreiro, which will provide more solidity to the midfield: Trubin, Dedic, António Silva, Otamendi, Dahl, Barrenechea, Richard Ríos, Leandro Barreiro, Aursnes, Schjelderup and Pavlidis are thus the probable starters.

It should be noted that for this duel, Bruno Lage has four certain absences. Alexander Bah, Manu Silva, Bruma and Nuno Félix who are still recovering from injury and will miss the match. On the other hand, Tomás Araújo is fit for the match, after having played for Benfica B last weekend.

The match between Fenerbahçe and Benfica will be played at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, next Wednesday. The kick-off will be at 20:00 and Bruno Lage's men want to take advantage of it to achieve a good result and decide the tie at Luz, in front of their fans.
