The first-ever matchup between Casa Pia and Benfica in the Portuguese premier division will take place on Saturday at Estadio Pina Manique.
The Primeira Liga debut of Casa Pia ended in a scoreless tie with Santa Clara, but their matchup with Benfica will be considerably more difficult.
Leonardo Lelo should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to find the net at the weekend, while Rafael Martins will continue to lead the line for the newcomers.
The Eagles, on the other hand, continue life without new Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, but the Uruguay international was not sorely missed in a 4-0 crushing of Arouca.
The capital club proved their worth in back-to-back Champions League wins over Midtjylland as well; therefore, anything but a routine away triumph would be a major surprise.
The good news for the visitors is that midfielder Joao Mario has overcome his injury.
