Fortunately for Scotland, there are no new injury concerns. Earlier, Angus Gunn, Lawrence Shankland, Greg Taylor, and James Forrest all withdrew from the squad due to injuries.

Scotland will rely heavily on the likes of Scott McTominay and Ryan Christie to provide the attacking threat. McTominay, who recently moved to Napoli, has been in good form and will be crucial in midfield.

Scotland predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Gordon (GK) — Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson— McLean, Gilmour—Doak, McTominay, Christie— Adams

Injured: Gunn, Shankland, Taylor, Forrest
Suspended: None

For Portugal, only Sporting Lisbon’s center-back Goncalo Inacio is unavailable. He had to withdraw from the squad prior to the October internationals due to an injury.

Portugal’s attack has been ruthless in the tournament. Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva have provided good support to Cristiano Ronaldo in attack, who has looked like his old self. Their defense has also been solid, making it difficult for opponents to break them down. 

Portugal predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Costa (GK) — Dalot, Dias, Veiga, Mendes— Silva, R. Neves—Jota, Fernandes, Leao— Ronaldo

Injured: Inacio
Suspended: None

Scotland vs. Portugal prediction
