Hearts vs Benfica Team News

Hearts come into the second leg after responding to their heavy defeat in Lisbon with a 4-0 domestic victory over Dundee United. Wouter Vrancken is expected to name a strong side as Hearts attempt to give their home supporters a positive European performance. The hosts will need their attacking players to make an immediate impact if they are to have any chance of mounting a comeback.

Benfica have won the first leg 6-1 and can afford to manage their squad in Edinburgh. Marco Silva could rotate several players, although the likes of Vangelis Pavlidis, Jhon Duran, Gianluca Prestianni and Andreas Schjelderup remain important attacking options. Their recent European form and huge aggregate advantage make Benfica clear favourites to progress.
