Team News: Jonas, Mitroglou start up front as Benfica name unchanged side against Astana

Benfica are unchanged from the side which last week demolished fellow Primeira Liga side Belenenses 6-0 for their Champions League tie against Astana on Tuesday.

Jonas and Konstantinos Mitroglou continue their strike partnership after each contributing two goals in Friday's league game, while Nicolas Gaitan and Talisca will also be looking to add to their goal tally.
