Europa League: Benfica live at 17:00GMT

Having drawn a ball in Germany, Benfica play this Tuesday from 17.00GMT at the Stadium of Light against Hertha Berlin, his continuation in the League Europe.

Advantage in the tie, the Eagles are today almost at full strength, determined to win and thus ensure the qualification for the knockout round finals.

Although aware that just a goalless draw's eonough to move on, Jorge Jesus, coach of the 'reds', has stated categorically that wants to win the Germans opponents, ranked last in Bundesliga, but that last weekend made it back to triumphs, thanks to a victory against Freiburg.

Apart from the unavailable Brazilian Ramires, who is serving punishment after seeing the third yellow card in Berlin, Benfica has a full squad available, which should allow the manager to operate some changes in the eleven against the holders from last game, such as the almost certain return of Maxi Pereira on the right side, leaving the left side to Fábio Coentrão, in exchange for Cesar Peixoto.

No meio-campo, o argentino Aimar deverá reassumir a condução do jogo encarnado, o que poderá levar Carlos Martins a deslocar-se para a direita ou até mesmo a deixar o onze, ficando a ala direita entregue a Ruben Amorim.

In midfield, the Argentine Aimar will resume the reds game's organization, which may lead Carlos Martins to move the right or even to leave the start eleven, getting the right wing delivered to Ruben Amorim.

Thus, Benfica will bring in the game tonight, arbitrated by Dutchman Pieter Vink, the following eleven:
Julio Cesar, Maxi, Luisao, David Coentrão and Fabio Luiz, Carlos Martins ( or Ruben Amorim ), Javi Garcia, Aimar, Di Maria, Cardozo and Saviola.
