2026-2027 Europa League: Benfica vs. Lech Poznan, Probable Lineups

Benfica aims to maintain its perfect record in the Europa League and has the opportunity to secure its fourth consecutive victory in front of its home crowd. On Thursday evening at 9 p.m., the Eagles host Lech Poznan at Estádio da Luz for Matchday 4 of the Europa League group stage. The Portuguese side has so far defeated Milan, Celtic, and Omonia, while the Polish team has earned just one point, drawing with Sunderland after losses to Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen.

Marco Silva is expected to make some lineup changes, especially given the team’s busy schedule. Jhon Durán is a candidate to start up front, while Echeverri could see playing time in the attacking midfield. Good news for Barrenechea, who is back in the lineup, while Lenglet will miss the match due to a thigh contusion.

Niels Frederiksen’s Lech Poznan arrives in Lisbon needing to improve its position in the standings. The coach is expected to stick with the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Agnero as the main striker and Walemark among the players called upon to add quality to the attack. In midfield, Kozubal and Murawski are expected to start. Gholizadeh and Sayyadmanesh are among those unavailable.
