vs

Germany's Philipp Lahm and Manuel Neuer have recovered from the injuries that hampered them in the build-up to the World Cup.

Lahm could move from right-back into the defensive midfield role he plays for club side Bayern Munich.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to start despite being troubled by tendonitis in his left knee in recent weeks.

Young defensive midfielder William Carvalho is in line for a start.

Força Portugal.

 

[Moomin]

Germany to win, over 10 corners and card index above 40 points 7-1 on PP, I think so.

 

[ste d' indica]

Ze Germans to dominate the play but that preener to drag Portugal through for a draw

2-2, late heartbreak for Germany.

 

[ijjysmith]

Unsure on this one.

I'm an unashamed Ronaldo fan boy so may just plump for them.

2-1 Germany, think they're too strong in more areas that Portugal despite Ronaldo.

You're right, got carried away there.

3-0

I mean we have lost to Germany in 3 out of the last 4 tournaments, so we're due a big win. That's how it works right?
