Nuno Gomes, who scored the goal against Spain which qualified the hosts for the knockout stages, will replace the suspended Pauleta up front.

Otherwise, Scolari is expected to name the same team that defeated the Spanish across the city at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

Team (probable): Ricardo, Miguel, Jorge Andrade, Ricardo Carvalho, Nuno Valente, Costinha, Maniche, Luis Figo, Deco, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nuno Gomes.
