Portugal vs Denmark – Predicted lineup and team news

Portugal prepares to face Denmark in their fifth UEFA Nations League game on Saturday at Braga, aiming to keep their perfect record intact. Coming off a 12-point lead in Group A4 with four wins from four matches, Jorge Jesus's team boasts a point-per-game lead. Following a World Cup loss to Spain, Portugal secured four consecutive competitive victories, triumphing over Wales 1-0, Norway twice (2-1 each), and Denmark 4-2 in Copenhagen on October 1.

For this Group A4 opener against Denmark, Portugal will honor retired captain Cristiano Ronaldo by wearing No. 7 shirts during the match. Manager Jorge Jesus faces several challenges due to injuries and suspensions. Rafael Leão is sidelined with a hamstring injury, Nuno Mendes is out due to an undisclosed issue, João Cancelo is suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards, and Francisco Conceição remains banned for three matches after a red card.

In response, Jesus has called up seven new players to the squad, including uncapped talents Flávio Nazinho, Geovany Quenda, Rodrigo Mora, Alberto Costa, and Gustavo Varela.

The match between Portugal and Denmark is scheduled to tip off at 7:45pm BST on Saturday, 14th November. UK viewers can catch the action exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
