Portugal built some confidence after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Republic of Ireland. João Félix’s deflected strike set them off, Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the woodwork in the first half and scoring twice in the second half.

Raphaël Guerreiro and Francisco Trincão are injured. Matheus Nunes was called up to replace Otávio.

Czech Republic Form

Czech Republic won five of their eight European Championship qualifiers. They finished equal on points with Albania, earning second spot in Group E and a ticket to Germany.

Despite guiding his side to Euro 2024, manager Jaroslav Silhavy left after five years in charge, replaced by Ivan Hasek who previously had the top job in 2009.

Hasek has won all four friendlies in charge, starting with a 2-1 win in Norway and 2-1 victory over Armenia in Prague where they overturned a 1-0 deficit.
