Portugal's defeat by Germany on Saturday leaves them in need of more points going into this rematch of the UEFA Euro 2016 final. The Seleção's fate is still in their own hands, however, and they will again look to Euro 2020 top scorer and serial record-breaker Cristiano Ronaldo to steer them to a victory that would send them through. France's draw with Hungary kept them at the top of the section on four points and Les Bleus only require a draw to reach the final 16.

Possible starting line-ups

Portugal(4-3-3): Rui Patrício; Nélson Semedo, Rúben Dias, Pepe, Guerreiro; Danilo, Renato Sanches, Bruno Fernandes; Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo, Diogo Jota

France: Lloris(4-3-3): Pavard, Varane, Kimpembe, Hernández; Pogba, Kanté, Rabiot; Griezmann, Benzema, Mbappé
