Benfica-Gil Vicente. Enzo Barrenechea starts

Observador13 September 2026 at 17:00

Benfica host Gil Vicente tonight in a Portuguese League match, looking to maintain their four-game winning streak in the championship. Bruno Lage's team wants to continue collecting points before two difficult fixtures ahead.

Enzo Barrenechea is one of the new additions to the starting eleven, being one of the main changes to the team's setup for this match. The Argentine thus gains a place in the red midfield from kickoff.

Winger Bah remains out of the squad, staying unavailable due to injury. His absence continues, depriving the coach of an important attacking option.

After this home game, Benfica will face two risky away trips: first to San Siro to face Milan, and then to the Dragão to face FC Porto, two matches that promise to be decisive in the Eagles' season.

Why this matters

This information is directly relevant to Benfica fans who want to follow the team's evolution from game to game. Barrenechea's return may indicate important tactical changes, and the challenging calendar that follows — with visits to Milan and FC Porto — shows that this game is a crucial step in preparing for the season's toughest challenges.
