With 4 points Hungary are at the top of the group and they are
guaranteed a third placed finish at all cost. Bernd Storck's men opened
their Euro 2016 campaign with a 2-0 victory over high-rated Austria and
recorded a 1-1 hard-fought draw against Iceland last time out. They need
just a draw to be assured of a top two place.
Defender Attila Fiola misses the match through injury. Striker Adam Szalai and Nermanja Nikolic will both be hoping to start this game, although boss Storck may stick with the starting eleven from last time out, fielding a 4-1-4-1 formation with Zoltan Gera in tha playmaker position, Balzs Dzsudzsak and Krisztian Nemeth as offensive wingers.
Portugal were held to a draw in each in their two matches in Group F so far: 1-1 against Austria in their opening match and a goalless draw against Iceland last time out, after Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty and a number of goal chances. To top the group Fernando Santos’ men would have to beat Hungary. No side managed as many shots on goal (37) in the first two matches, but the sum total of Portugal's endeavours was one goal from Nani.
Guerreiro and Andre Gomes have missed training with injuries and they are both doubtful. Eliseu and Renato Sanches are the most probable replacements but coach Fernando Santos have a number of options. Nani, Ricardo Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo will star up-front.
Probable lineups:
Hungary: Kiraly – Lang, Guzmics, Juhasz, Kadar – A. Nagy, Pinter – Kleinheisler, Dzsudzsak, Stieber – Szalai.
Portugala: Patricio – Vierinha, Pepe, R. Carvalho, Eliseu – W. Carvalho, R. Sanches, J. Moutinho – Quaresma, Ronaldo, Nani.
