Benfica's centre-back Antonio Silva is likely to partner with the veteran Nicolas Otamendi at the heart of the defense.


In midfield, Orkun Kokcu and Leandro Barreiro are strong candidates to start after their impressive displays against Auckland City.


Forward Angel Di Maria scored twice in that match and could line up with Vangelis Pavlidis, Kerem Akturkoglu, and Gianluca Prestianni in attack.


Bayern Munich's manager Vincent Kompany will aim to lead the group and is expected to field a strong lineup, including defenders Josip Stanisic and Jonathan Tah.


Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka formed a solid midfield partnership against Boca Juniors and might continue in that role on Tuesday.


With Thomas Muller sidelined due to injury, Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, and Kingsley Coman could support striker Harry Kane.


Benfica's possible starting lineup:

Trubin; Aursnes, Silva, Otamendi, Carreras; Barreiro, Kokcu; Di Maria, Prestianni, Akturkoglu; Pavlidis


Bayern Munich's possible starting lineup:

Neuer; Laimer, Tah, Stanisic, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane
