The European power house face African challenge in the Do or Die match from the group G. Portugal is without a win as the side lost 4-0 with Germany and played 2-2 draw against North American United States. Behind the week performance from Portugal various critics are hitting the world latest news section in every corner of the worlds. Injury & fitness is the major one with Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo the key players from Portugal also not giving 100% fitness proof as the world best player was by knee injury while playing with Real Madrid in champions league final last may. Meanwhile, their main striker, defender are also in the injury list and some of them are suspended like PEPE in the match against Germany. But eventually, PEPE return makes Portugal defence more stronger than before. Portugal require a straight win over Ghana with a better goal difference in order to save their probability for the next round otherwise they will be joining the big side returning form the world cup just like Spain, Italy & England.
Injury hit first choice player list from Portugal include Fabio Coentrao (Defender), Rui Patricio (Goal Keepers), Helder Postiga & Hugo Almeida (Striker) with Andre Almeida so far. Ricardo Costa & Miguel Veloso, PEPE & Bruno Alves remain in defence with Willian Carvalho in the central midfield alongwith Nani, Rual Meireles.
Probable Starting XIs:
Beto, Costa, Veloso, PEPE, Alves, Carvalho, Meireles, Nani, Varela, Ronaldo, Eder
Ghana looking more stronger in their game against Germany. Germany attack seems quite sloppy in Ghana's defence line. Hence, beating Ghana is quite uneasy for Portugal and a match draw will lead the both side out of the tournament.
Kevin Prince Boateng and Gyan is leading the team in the front line with Essien, Asamoah Muntari in the centre. At back Inkoom, Boye, Mensah with Afful is headed to stop the Portugese Cristiano Ronaldo and his men.
Probable Starting XIs:
Adams, Inkoom, Boye, Mensah, Afful, Essien, Muntari, Boateng, Asamoah, Ayew, Gyan.
