Portugal
Roberto Martinez has no new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. Portugal’s head coach will have a fully-fit squad vs Denmark at the Jose Alvalade Stadium on Sunday.
Diogo Costa is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Portugal lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Denmark on Sunday. The backline should see one change, with Goncalo Inacio replacing Renato Veiga.
Inacio will accompany Ruben Dias, Diogo Dalot, and Nuno Mendes in the backline. The two full-backs will aim to provide width in the final third and protect the centre-backs. As for the midfield, there is no reason to fiddle with the pairing of Vitinha and Joao Neves in the double pivot.
Bruno Fernandes will reprise the no. 10 role, with Pedro Neto and Rafael Leao being the two wide attackers. So, Bernardo Silva will be an option on the bench again. Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the line for Portugal against Denmark on Sunday.
Denmark
Like his counterpart in the Portuguese dugout, Brian Riemer has no new issues to worry about ahead of the trip to Estadio Jose Alvalade. Denmark’s head coach should have a full-strength squad on Sunday.
Kasper Schmeichel will take his spot between the sticks, with Denmark lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him vs Portugal on Sunday. The backline should feature Rasmus Kristensen, Joachim Andersen, Jannik Vestergaard, and Joakim Maehle.
As for the midfield unit, Christian Norgaard should line up alongside Morten Hjulmand in the double pivot. Christian Eriksen will likely reprise the no. 10 role, with Andreas Skov Olsen and Jesper Lindstrom being the two wide attackers.
Finally, Rasmus Hojlund should lead the line for Denmark against Portugal at the Jose Alvalade Stadium on Sunday night. Mikkel Damsgaard, Andreas Skov Olsen, and Mika Biereth will be backup options on the bench.
Portugal possible starting lineup:
D Costa; Dalot, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; Vitinha, Neves; Neto, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo
Denmark possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Kristensen, Andersen, Vestergaard, Maehle; Hjulmand, Norgaard; Isaksen, Eriksen, Lindstrom; Hojlund

In 17 previous meetings between the two sides, Portugal have been the dominant side, winning 11 and losing just four. Two matches have ended in a draw.
Prior to the 1-0 loss in midweek, Portugal had secured three back-to-back wins over the Danes in all competitions.

Prediction: Portugal 1-0 Denmark (Portugal win on penalties)
We could be in for a long night in Lisbon - Portugal should be able to triumph in the second leg, but we are only expecting it to be 1-0, which would lead to a penalty shootout, and we are backing Martinez's side to ultimately emerge victorious to advance to the semi-finals of the tournament.
