Sport Lisboa e Benfica travels to the Azores to face Santa Clara without two of its main players, Amar Dedic and Bruma. The Bosnian international Amar Dedic is still being managed due to a muscle overload in his left thigh and did not travel with the Benfica delegation. Meanwhile, winger Bruma was left out solely due to a technical option by José Mourinho. Heading to the Azores, Benfica's goal is to add three important points to the standings. José Mourinho's team has several injured players, but also has some important reinforcements, such as young right-back Daniel Banjaqui, who was called up for the match. Benfica faces Santa Clara in a game that can be decisive for the classification. So, the Lisbon team must be very focused to add the three points. The match will be played at the Santa Clara stadium, in front of a crowd that will certainly be very excited. But, Benfica has the experience and quality to win the game. With José Mourinho's call-up, Benfica has a very strong team to face Santa Clara. The list of call-ups includes Trubin, Diogo Ferreira and Ricardo Ribeiro as goalkeepers, Daniel Banjaqui, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Tomás Araújo, Gonçalo Oliveira, Samuel Dahl and José Neto as defenders, Manu Silva, Enzo Barrenechea, Diogo Prioste, Leandro Barreiro and Sudakov as midfielders, and Lukebakio, Prestianni, Schjelderup, Lopes Cabral, Rafa, Ivanovic, Pavlidis and Anísio as forwards.
