Denmark are missing key players due to injuries. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Matt O'Riley, Kasper Dolberg, and Alexander Bah are all ruled out. Manchester United duo Rasmus Hojlund and Christian Eriksen are fit, while Monaco's Mika Biereth is in line for his debut after scoring 11 goals in 12 games with Monaco.
Portugal will once again be led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who is looking to add to his international goal tally. Youngster Geovany Quenda, who has agreed to join Chelsea, has been called up for the first time. Nuno Tavares is out through injury, but Roberto Martinez has a strong squad to choose from.
Predicted Lineups
Denmark : Schmeichel; Kristiansen, Andersen, Vestergaard, Dorgu; Norgaard, Hjulmand, Eriksen; Damsgaard, Biereth, Skov Olsen.
Portugal: Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha; Bernardo, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo.
Score Prediction
Denmark are struggling for form, and Portugal have enough firepower to get at least a result away from home.
Expect Portugal to win or draw.
