Portugal face Switzerland in the World Cup round of 16 on Tuesday, with a spot the quarter-finals up for grabs.
Portugal qualified top of Group H, with a Bruno Fernandes double being enough to beat Uruguay and Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix and Rafael Leao all scoring in an entertaining 3-2 win over Ghana.
Switzerland also qualified after victories against Cameroon and Serbia. They went through as runners-up in Group G, missing out on top spot only by goal difference.
Switzerland will be hoping to reach their first World Cup quarter final since 1954. Portugal have not got to a quarter final since 2006, when they finished 4th overall in the tournament.
