đź”´Portugal vs Uzbekistan LIVE: FIFA World Cup Match | POR vs UZB | Ronaldo | Bruno Fernandes | N18G VC: Reuters/AP Portugal head into their second Group K match knowing a big response is needed. Portugal coach Roberto Martinez has said that he cannot inform the media about his playing XI in the upcoming match against Uzbekistan, since he hasn’t informed the players either, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s spot in the XI still undecided. A 1-1 draw against DR Congo in their World Cup opener fell well short of expectations for a side widely tipped as one of the tournament favourites. Another underwhelming result would leave Roberto MartĂnez’s men needing a positive outcome against an impressive Colombia side in their final group game just to guarantee passage to the knockout rounds. That pressure creates an opportunity for Uzbekistan. The World Cup debutants were comfortably beaten by Colombia in their opening match, but they will have taken note of DR Congo’s disciplined performance against Portugal. If they can replicate that blueprint and frustrate MartĂnez’s side, another upset could be on the cards. On paper, Portugal possess one of the strongest squads in the tournament. Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, JoĂŁo Neves and Bernardo Silva form a midfield capable of controlling matches against almost anyone. The problem, however, is turning possession into meaningful chances. Predicted Lineups Portugal (4-2-3-1): Diogo Costa; JoĂŁo Cancelo, Tomás AraĂşjo, Renato Veiga, Nuno Mendes; JoĂŁo Neves, Vitinha; Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Pedro Neto; Cristiano Ronaldo. Uzbekistan (3-4-3): Utkir Yusupov; Rustamjon Ashurmatov, Abdukodir Khusanov, Abdulla Abdullaev; Behruz Karimov, Akmal Mozgovoy, Otabek Shukurov, Sherzod Nasrullaev; Abbosbek Fayzullayev, Eldor Shomurodov, Oston Urunov. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: We are currently displaying Fans arrive/ watch party/ practice match visuals along with a live scorecard.
