Portugal team are yet to win in 90 minutes at the France finals. Their only
vicotry came in the last 16 round against Croatia when a goal scored by
Ricardo Quaresma during the extra-time was enough to secure a 1-0 win.
In three three group stage matches, the Portuguese team recorded three
draw - 1:1 against Iceland, 0:0 against Austria and 3:3 against Hungary.
In the last round, they knocked out Poland after a 1-1 draw and a nerve
penalty shootout in Marseille.
William Carvalho is suspended, which could mean Danilo comes into midfield. Fullback Raphael Guerreiro and midfielder Andre Gomes are still sidelined with their respective injuries. Pepe missed training on Monday but he is expected to start the match regularly. Monaco star Joao Moutinho will be hoping to start while Ricardo Quaresma and Joao Mario are in contention for a starting berth.

Wales team are in dreamland after recovering from conceding for in the
quarter final with Belgium to come away with a 3-1 win. That was their
4th vicotry in five games so far, with their only loss against England
(1:2) in the group stage. The other two Group B matches saw the Dragons
beat 2:1 Slovakia and 3:0 Russia. In the last-16 round, they narrowly

Wales: Hennessey – Chester, A. Williams, Collins – Gunter, Allen, Ledley, King, Taylor – Bale – Robson-Kanu.
