Portugal probable lineup

Portugal were shy during their first UEFA Nations League game against Spain as that game ended 1-1 on the road. At least Portugal’s defense was efficient during that game, but Portugal’s most recent victory was another display of their attacking power scoring 4-0 against Czech Republic.

Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to be a starter in the lineup against Spain, but he has not scored for Portugal since the win over Switzerland on June 5.
