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.

Spain probable lineup

Luis Enrique’s strategy seems a bit weak since more was expected from his squad during the Nations League, but at least they are fighting for a spot for the Nations League Finals. Spain’s most recent game was a loss against Switzerland 1-1.
