Cup hangover:A change in tactical formation and the return of some key players will mark the trip to Amsterdam.

A change in tactical formation and the return of some key players will mark the trip to Amsterdam.

After their victory against Atlético CP in the Portuguese Cup, Benfica shifts its focus to the Champions League, where they have yet to earn a single point. Their opponents, Ajax of the Netherlands, are in the same situation.

For the match at the Johan Cruijff Arena, Mourinho is expected to make further changes to the starting eleven and tactical formation, after the idea of ​​using three central defenders against the Alcântara side did not work as intended.

Trubin is expected to return to the Eagles’ starting lineup, replacing Samuel Soares, and Manu is back in the squad, but is expected to start on the bench. Up front, Pavlidis will once again be the most advanced player in attack, with Aursnes on one side and Schjelderup in place of the injured Lukebakio.

As a reminder, Benfica will take to the field this Tuesday against Ajax at 5:45 PM, in a match that will be covered  LIVE , here on  Maisfutebol .

AJAX’S PROBABLE ELEVEN:  Pasveer; Rose, Sutalo, Baas, Alders; Regeer, Gloukh, Taylor; Edvardsen, Weghorst, Godts.
