Benfica coach, Jorge Jesus, is likely to field a strong team against Maritimo in the Portuguese cup. The Reds take on the Lions at Estádio dos Barreiros but are still going to be at their considerable strength despite it not being a European
or league tie.
The Lisbon outfit were able to overcome their cross-city rivals in their last fixture and had played with one of the best teams at their disposal.
Benfica eventually won the game 1-0 and although they have an upcoming UEFA Champions League tie on the 7th of December, they are still going to play the majority of their first teamers in this one.

Coach, Jorge Jesus, might also choose to give Luisao a run out, if he is fit but the backline is expected to be the same except maybe the inclusion of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joan-Capdevila-c18631. The Spaniard has been unable to make a mark at the helm and the only way he can gather
game time is by playing in low valued cup ties.
However even that is not certain, as the tactician may choose to stick with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emerson-c12442 and continue the team which has been in quite decent form.
Javi Garcia can play for Portugal says agent
Representative of Javi Garcia, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 despite having made appearances for the Spanish National team at different age groups.
Javi Garcia, 24, has blossomed into a talented midfielder during his stay at Estadio da Luz. Having gone from being a talented youngster, the former Real Madrid man has now established himself and reportedly attracted the attention of Manchester United.
Such have been his performances that a move to a bigger club looks very likely to arise in the upcoming transfer window. While on the domestic front he has been quite successful, as he is a regular starter for Benfica, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 his role has been quite
limited.
While featuring for La Roja at several youth levels including U-21 and U-19, Garcia hasn’t been able to break into the senior team due to the presence of game greats such as Xavi Hernandez, Andre Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas.
However as the player is keen to play International football, his agent has revealed that he might be able to ply his trade for Portugal.
Speaking to reporters, the representative said that it was quite possible for his client to don Seleccao colours, but that would be subject to him receiving a dual nationality.
"Assuming that he is very happy at Benfica and Portugal, it would be possible," Manuel Garcia Quillon was quoted as saying.
While Javi Garcia isn’t able to play for Spain, featuring for the Navigators isn’t that easy either but the lack of a true midfielder in the team may aide his cause.
