Portugal Team News:
Portugal head coach Fernando Santos could name the same XI which started against Switzerland. There are no reasons to flirt with the playing 11, though, the little knocks or fatigue could force any manager to take some unexpected decisions.
Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely start, while young Joao Felix and Manchester City star Bernardo Silva should be upfront giving the Juventus star the support in attack.
While Ruben Neves and William Cravalho should play n the midfield.
——————————————————————————————————————————-
Probable XI: Patricio (GK), Semedo, Dias, Pepe, Guerreiro; Carvalho, Neves, Fernandes; B Silva; Ronaldo, Felix
Netherlands:
The Netherlands have come a long way under Ronald Koeman, from those dark days when this great footballing nation failed to make an appearance in two straight major events.
The UEFA Nations League is a chance to show the world the progress, and that’s why the former Southampton manager Koeman may not flirt with the playing XI he named in the last game.
We could see some changes from the Dutch, especially in the midfield.
Donny van de Beek will be battling with Marten de Roon for a place in the middle of the park, while Quincy Promes may usurp Ryan Babel from the playing 11.
Potential Game Changers:
Cristiano Ronaldo – 28 Memphis Depay – 16.5 Bernardo Silva – 9.5 Gini Wijnaldum – 3.5 Van Dijk – 6.5 Ruben Neves – 4
Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:
Cristiano Ronaldo: Van Dijk looks an immovable force at the moment. There are only a handful of players in the world who can give him some trouble with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner ahead of anybody in that regard.
His brilliant hattrick in the last game means he will head into this game high on confidence.
