Team News & Tactics
Portugal
Portugal had pretty much their first-choice side starting their last game against France. Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva is still slowly working his way back from injury, so that means a second start in three days might be a bit too much for him.
Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Rui Patricio, Joao Cancelo, Pepe, Ruben Dias, Raphael Guerreiro, William Carvalho, Ruben Neves, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Jota, Joao Felix, Cristiano Ronaldo
Sweden
Meanwhile, Sweden have Seattle Sounders midfielder Gustav Svensson available again, after he missed the last game against Croatia with a suspension he picked up for a red card in the reverse fixture in Stockholm.
Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Robin Olsen, Mikael Lustig, Victor Lindelof, Pontus Jansson, Pierre Bengtsson, Emil Forsberg, Albin Ekdal, Kristoffer Olsson, Viktor Claesson, Alexander Isak, Marcus Berg
