Following mid-week success in the Taça de Portugal against Leixões, Aly Cissokho, Fernando, Helton and former Rapid Bucureşti man Cristian Săpunaru will return to the lineup. Lisandro López has shaken off his injury and will return to the lineup as well.
The Azuis e brancos will need to be careful of their opposition as Jesualdo Ferreira warned. Jaime Pacheco's side is particularly difficult in their Lisbon home and will not concede many goals.
