Portugal takes on Germany in their second match of Group F in the Euro 2020 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday as they aim to pick up successive wins.
Ronaldo and Co won their first match against Hungary 3-0 with a Guerreiro strike along with a brace from Ronaldo leading the way.
On the other hand, Germany lost to France in their opener 1-0 through a Mats Hummels own goal making the difference.
The German side lacked a cutting edge against France and would look to get back to winning ways starting with Portugal.
