Real Sociedad will no doubt have one eye on what could happen in the other group clash pitting Benfica against Salzburg, the two teams that on paper they should fight to reach the next stage as Inter Milan are seems the clear favorite to take one of the two places.
The Portuguese team starts with an advantage for this match. Especially playing in the always complicated Estadio da Luz, but because they are facing an Austrian team that is very conditioned in their squad and accumulating a lot of casualties. In total, eight were injured with none other than Fernando, one of the decisive players in the attack who had to be replaced, especially by Simic.
It is not that Salzburg is seriously affected in his eleven. Beyond Capaldo, the rest of the casualties are bench players, who will really show these absences when the team needs to be given fresh air as the minutes tick by.
On the other hand, Benfica comes into the match with all its players available. And he returns to the Champions League bolstered by the experience of an Ángel di María who is considered essential to give his best in this competition.
