After a remarkable group stage, Toulouse is back in action in the round of 32 of the Europa League. And Téfécé has inherited a big chunk since it will come up against Benfica, one of the top seeds in the competition.

For his first round against the Lisbon club this Thursday evening, Carles Martinez Novell will have a well-stocked group to put together an attractive eleven. The Spanish coach simply has to cope without Keben, Genreau and Aboukhlal, still in the infirmary, as well as Schmidt, absent for personal reasons.

The expected composition of Toulouse: Remains – Desler, Costa, Nicolaisen, Diarra, Suazo – Babicka, Sierro, Spierings, Gboho – Dallinga.

Toulouse should present itself with an articulated animation in 5-4-1. Dallinga is expected at the forefront of the attack. The other executives are expected to start this meeting, like goalkeeper Restes and central defender Nicolaisen.

Watch out for Di Maria for Benfica

In the ranks of the Eagles, the Toulouse will find an old acquaintance from Ligue 1 since a certain Angel Di Maria should be lined up from the outset for this European match. A well-identified danger as the Argentinian shines this season with the club that revealed him in Europe.
