The Viola are flying high in Serie A, but have suffered from surprising ups and downs on European level this season.
They have lost both home fixtures so far by 2-1 scorelines, despite winning away to Lech Poznan and drawing 2-2 in Basel after going down to 10 men.
Belenenses were crushed 4-0 in Portugal and Paulo Sousa’s men will go through second in Group I with a point here, as they have a superior head-to-head record with Lech Poznan.
On the other hand, Belenenses can still qualify with a victory and if Lech don’t beat Basel. It’s also Coach Ricardo Sa Pinto’s 44th birthday today.
Facundo Roncaglia is suspended following his red card for lashing out an elbow against Basel, while Jakub Blaszczykowski is injured.
Rossi admitted to his frustration at being left out of the side when he has shaken off that latest knee injury, so is started this evening with Khouma Babacar.
