Preview
Portugal’s late 2-2 draw with Mexico has left them in third spot. Their next opponents will be the hosts Russia – top of the group.
Russia will not want to disappoint the home crowd. A much more careful approach can be expected against Fernando Santos’ men, given the attacking quality in Portugal’s camp.
The Euro 2016 champions need a win to avoid complications. A lot of that responsibility will fall on the shoulders of Cristiano, a man who always shows up for his nation when needed.
The Real Madrid superstar, however, is going through tax fraud accusation. A court date has been set for the Portugal captain, but his focus should remain on the next game.
Andre Silva, AC Milan’s new signing, could start on Wednesday to inject pace into the European champions’ starting eleven.
