Benfica vs Porto - Team news

Benfica make it to this match as winners of the Liga Portugal title, a crown they won by earning two more points than Porto. The Eagles have been quite active during the offseason, as players such ar Orkun Kokcu and Angel Di María will be joining the team for this match. On the contrary, the team will have to make do without Goncalo Ramos(who left to join PSG), Julian Weigl (who completed a move to Germany), and Lucas Verissimo, among others. The club will need some time to adapt to these moves, but coach Roger Schmidt could use this game to make that happen quicker.

On the other side of the pitch, Porto enter this clash after winning the 2022-23 Taca de Portugal. The team led by Sergio Conceicao has also added quite a few talented players to their roster, including Nico González and Fran Navarro. Meanwhile, the club has bid farewell to footballers such as Matheus Uribe, Diogo Leite and Wilson Manafá, which will force their boss to rely on new talents coming in from the youth categories. Porto will be determined to make a lasting impression in this game, especially since it could determine many things for the season that is set to begin on Friday.

Unfortunately, both teams will have to make do without some of their players. Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this Portuguese Super Cup tie.

Benfica: André Gomes (injured).

Porto: Joao Mario, Gabriel Verón (injured).
