Portugal, in contrast, have been forced into two changes. Left-back Raphaël Guerreiro and midfielder André Gomes have both failed late fitness tests, and coach Fernando Santos has replaced them by Eliseu and Renato Sanches respectively. Ronaldo and Nani start up top, and will be tasked with providing width for a rather narrow team.
Poland starting lineup (4-4-2): Łukasz Fabiański; Artur Jędrzejczyk, Michał Pazdan, Kamil Glik, Łukasz Piszczek; Kamil Grosicki, Krzysztof Mączyński, Grzegorz Krychowiak, Jakub Błaszczykowski; Robert Lewandowski, Arkadiusz Milik.
