Preamble
The equation is not particularly easy for Portugal. They need to beat Belgium and hope Spain do the same to Italy. To make matters more complicated, they need a six-goal swing to move into second. How hard can it be?
Portugal were pretty underwhelming in their first match, getting a bit of a shooing by Spain and followed that up with 70 meek minutes against Italy before coming to life as they chased a goal. They need to keep the momentum gained in those latter stages, be more direct and aggressive to give themselves a chance here.
Belgium are playing for pride and – to a lesser extent – to help out Italy. Spain will be more than happy to steamroller the Italians, so the margins could be tight come the end of 90 minutes.
Kick-off: 8pm BST
