Benfica Team News

Veteran defender Jan Vertonghen is out for at least three weeks after picking a thigh injury. Therefore, Jesus might continue operating with a four-man defence. Other injury contenders at the camp include Darwin Nunez with a knee injury while Haris Seferovic with a muscle one.

PSV Eindhoven Team News

We expect Schmidt to recall several first-team players to the starting lineup. Therefore, we expect to see Eran Zahavi, Cody Gakpo, Mario Gotze and Joel Drommel. Injury contenders at the camp include Maximiliano Romero and Maxime Delanghe.

Prediction and Odds

We expect a cagey affair with plenty of firepowers to cause troubles in both defence lines this week.
