- António Silva will miss out due to an accumulation of bookings. Morato will likely replace him, joining Otamendi at the heart of the defense.
- Bah made an impact coming from the bench and should start at the right-hand side of the defense.
- 18-year old João Neves delivered another wonderful performance and should start in the middle of the park once again.
- Gabriel Silva misses out due to an accumulation of bookings, which opens the Starting XI door to Rildo.
- Ricardinho should bring fresh legs to the attack after missing out last time around.
