France vs Portugal Team News

Didier Deschamps is likely to recall a number of regulars back into the starting eleven having gone with a more experimental line-up against Ukraine.

The likes of Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann, Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba should all start, while teenager Eduardo Camavinga will hope to feature after impressing with a goal on Wednesday.

Portugal should also welcome back a number of first-choice players into the starting eleven with Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva all set to feature having been on the bench against Spain.

France vs Portugal Preview

With such a myriad of attacking talent set to be on display in Paris on Sunday evening, it is difficult to envisage either side keeping a clean sheet.

Defending Nations League champions Portugal have scored in seven of the eight matches they have contested in the tournament, while France have scored at least twice in each of their three home games in the competition - against Germany, Netherlands and Croatia.

Les Bleus have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those three previous home matches, while the holders have kept just three clean sheets in their eight Nations League games.

With Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann all likely to feature, there will be a serious amount of firepower on the pitch and backing goals at both ends seems a logical conclusion.
