Bas Dost called up for this match. Doubt he will start but hopefully he can make an appearance. With Benfica losing and Braga drawing, a win here is massive to stay within touching distance.
Renan; Bruno Gaspar, Coates, Mathieu, Acuña; Battaglia, Gudelj, Bruno Fernandes; Nani, Montero, Diaby Renan rewarded for his good performance vs Arsenal. Mathieu back in the Starting XI. Diaby a surprising start, but finally getting a chance. Bas Dost on the bench, hopefully doesnt come on in the 90th minute.
1-0 Nani heads in the lead. Fitting, we’ve by far been the better team since Boavista hit the post. Just nothing on the end until that.
Can’t wait for Dost to get back on the field. Some decent side to side play, decent crosses but just nothing doing in the box.
Gudelj and Bruno Fernandes just awful. Still I would take Gudelj off first, he's just not been good at all, drop Bruno a bit, move Nani to the middle and throw on Jovane at some point. Hope we can also see Dost
