Benfica coach Jorge Jesus faces a selection conundrum as he looks to name his starting eleven for the weekend game against Feirense.
The Reds have been the dominant team in Liga Sagres this season and are currently leading the standings with 42 points.
Last week, Benfica secured a 3-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Castro-c8590.
While the visitors are the favourites going into the clash, coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and it will be difficult for the tactician to pick a team
out of them.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Aimar-c28938, who has been one of the star performers for the club this term, came on against Gil Vicente as a substitute and proved to be the spark that changed the game. The veteran midfielder showed his creativity and was not only able to get on the score
sheet but also assisted Rodrigo’s goal.
Although his quality remains undoubted the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029,
who has played 30 games out of 31 this season.
The Belgian International is a major part of the tactician’s plans and is not likely to sit this one out. So Nicolas Gaitan, Nolito or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 Cesar are likely to miss out.
Up-front, things are expected to remain the same with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emerson-c12442 should be wing-backs.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Artur-c6727 should get the nod for this one and continue his brilliant campaign between the posts. With Benfica putting out their strongest side, they are the overwhelming favourites and Jorge Jesus will not be satisfied with anything other than the three points.
Feirense themselves are struggling the bottom half of the table and shouldn’t provide much of a threat to the Lisbon giants on match day.
