Denmark pulled off an impressive upset win over the Netherlands in their Euro 2012 opener, while Portugal looked respectable in defeat against the favored Germans. Because both teams played fairly well in their first matches and because both teams lack depth, they haven't altered their lineups at all for their clash against each other.
Denmark Vs. Portugal, Euro 2012: Lineups
Denmark Lineup (4-2-3-1): Stephan Andersen; Simon Poulsen, Daniel Agger, Simon Kjaer, Lars Jacobsen; Niki Zimling, William Kvist; Michael Krohn-Delhi, Christian Eriksen, Dennis Rommedahl; Nicklas Bendtner
Portugal Lineup (4-3-3): Rui Patricio; Fabio Coentrao, Bruno Alves, Pepe, Joao Pereira; Miguel Veloso, Joao Moutinho, Raul Meireles; Cristiano Ronaldo, Helder Postiga, Nani
Both teams are going to expect a lot more from their key attackers on Wednesday. Christian Eriksen and Cristiano Ronaldo both put in average performances in their opening games, and both should see a lot more of the ball in this encounter. Kickoff is at 12 p.m. ET and you can catch the game on ESPN in the United States.
