Setubal - Benfica Carlsberg Cup 2nd Leg Preview

This Wednesday Benfica plays the second leg of the Carlsberg League Cup. The result from the first leg was 1-1 (match report here). Benfica travels to Setubal trying to advance to the next round of the League Cup.Camacho has called up the following players for this Wednesday's clash with SetubalKeepers: Butt, Bruno Costa - Butt will get the start, he has been playing all the League Cup games (didn't play the 1st leg because he was hurt), the Junior Bruno Costa will be on the bench since Quim can't play due to his red card suspension. The German will look to build up on his Sunday performance as he wants to assume himself as a Camacho's number 1.. Despite Quim being suspended, this is an opportunity for the German.Defenders: Luís Filipe, Zoro, Luisão, Edcarlos, Miguelito - Luis Felipe and Miguelito will repeat their starting spots from the first leg while Edcarlos will join Luisao. Edcarlos was the sacrificed player when Quim got the red card, he will be ready to go. Midfielders: Binya, Nuno Assis, Andrés Diaz, Maxi Pereira and Cristian Rodriguez - Binya will start in his defensive midfielder position. The other midfield 3 can go a couple different ways.Assis on the right, Rodriguez in the middle, a position that he plays in his national team and that he is totally comfortable with and Di Maria on the left. Di Maria has had to play on the right ever since Rodriguez arrived, this would be a perfect opportunity for him to return to a position where he feels most comfortable with. The other option would be Maxi on the right, Assis in the middle and Rodriguez on the left, Assis' natural position is a central position. Di Maria would play up front.Forwards: Di Maria, Coentrão, Mantorras, Dabao, Adu, Bergessio - Dabao and Bergessio will most likely get the notch up front, Dabao being the only real center forward called up will most likely get the start, if Di Maria plays in the midfield. Bergessio, much to many fans' dislike, will make another apperance in the starting 11, wether it's at the center forward postion or at the striker position that all depends on how camach sets up the team.I'd like to see Adu start the game, but i think that it's unrealistic at this point. Freddy is a very dangerous player due to his speed and explosiveness off the drible, Camacho is currently introducing him in the game at the end where the opposition has lost some of their stamina. According to Camacho, Freddy has a lot of talent and is coming along very well while adapting to a different country and a totally different soccer style, but is not ready yet to start.To be perfectely honest, i think this competition has the potential to do us more harm than good, so far Camacho has been able to manage the squad and use the less used players in the League Cup matches, however, having to play play another competiton while you are deeply involved in the Champions League and in an uphill battle domestically can only have detrimental results to the team. So far the team as responded well, sooner or later the extra effort being put forth by certain players will affect the team, i'm sure of that. As a Benfica fan i'd love to see Benfica win every competition they enter, but at one point or another you have to think if it's really worth it. Nonetheless i'm predicting a win 2-1 in OT.
