Broos changes line-up for game in Portugal

Anderlecht left for Lisbon today, where it will play against Benfica on Tuesday. Broos selected the same 18 players as last Friday, but he'll change the starting line-up and maybe the formation too.


Zetterberg gets a place on the bench, so Walter Baseggio will start the game. Also Lovre will be in the starting 11. Junior is out. It's most likely that Broos will put Wilhelmsson back on his right wing and Lovré on the left. On Sunday, Aruna trained as only striker.

Daniel Zitka will start as goalkeeper. The defense will probably remain unchanged.

"I've never seen the players this quiet after a match. I think they want to show something now" said Anderlecht-trainer Hugo Broos. "Maybe it's good that the Benfica game comes this short after the defeat on Mouscron. Everyone is awake now."

Also Baseggio thinks the same: "The defeat of last Friday will motivate us. It's a more difficult game, but it's totally different too. Benfica won't play defensive. We might get a good result with the same amount of chances as Mouscron had against us."
