Ronaldo is starting once more for Portugal despite Goncalo Ramos' goal in the last round, but he'll need to get among the action more if he is to force Spain to concede their first goal of the tournament.
Lamine Yamal looked more like himself against Austria and can make Spain tick once more. Mikel Oyarzabal bagged a couple in that game, and will lead the line for Luis de la Fuente's side here.
