Jorge Jesus to make changes to the Benfica line-up for the match against Maritimo – Report
Benfica coach, Jorge Jesus, is set to make several changes to his line-up for the game against Maritimo. The tactician is likely to field a strong side but will tweak his starting eleven, keeping in mind the upcoming UEFA Champions League game next week.
The Eagles come into the Portuguese cup tie boasting an impressive record in all competitions. Jorge Jesus’ men are unbeaten in the Primeira Liga and are currently placed first, ahead of rivals Sporting Lisbon and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186.
In their last game, they won the Lisbon derby and so are going to be full confidence at Estádio dos Barreiros.
While the club have quite a talented squad at their disposal, Jorge Jesus is going to be making wholesome changes to the team for this one. The Reds have commitments in Europe and are going to be taking on Otelul Galati next week in the UEFA Champions League.
In order to ensure that his players are fit and fresh for the tie, rotation in the side will be a must. And so it is expected that the trainer will field http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Artur-c6727 in goal for this one.
The Seleccao International is in dire need of game time and will be named in the starting line-up, so that he can ensure his place in the National team. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxi-Pereira-c25004 as
the right-back.
Up-front changes are also expected as Nolito is going to start in place of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 Cesar, who will be given a deserved break. The Brazilian has been an important player for the Lisbon outfit this term and is going to be omitted from the starting eleven, so
that he can rest.
The most notable exclusion will be that of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Cardozo for a starting role.
However for this game, it is expected that the Paraguayan will return to the pinnacle of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Jesus’s side and look to earn back his reputation as one of the best in the game.
