Portugal faces Scotland this Tuesday evening (8:45 p.m.) in the group stage of the Nations League. Discover the Portuguese eleven who should start the match.
72 hours after winning on Polish soil (1-3)the Portugal team travels to Scotlandon behalf of the fourth day of the group stage of the League of Nations. During their first confrontation last month, the Seleção snatched victory thanks to a saving goal from Cristiano Ronaldo. In the event of another victory tomorrow evening, and if Poland does not beat Croatia, Roberto Martinez’s gang will then be assured of competing in the quarter-finals of the competition.
In his starting lineup, the Spanish technician could make several changes compared to Poland. João Cancelo, who recently went into exile in Saudi Arabia, should start, as should António Silva, who could form the central hinge alongside Rúben Dias. In the midfield, the Parisians João Neves and Vitinha could start alongside Bruno Fernandes, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Leão, who were taken off at the hour mark last Saturday, would keep their starting place. Bernardo Silva could be aligned in the right winger position.
