Team News
Silva, Duarte and Guerreiro play no part for the hosts due to injuries. Jota is a doubt after he picked up a muscle niggle.

Patricio, Cancelo, Pepe, Dias, Mendes, Moutinho, Palhinha, Fernandes, B. Silva, Ronaldo and Leao
Luxembourg possible 11:
Moris, Jans, Chanot, Carlson, Pinto, Martins Pereira, Deville, Thill, Barreiro, Rodriguez and Sinani
Prediction: Portugal 3-0 Luxembourg
The Portuguese are in prime form to continue the good work and we expect them to get the better of the visitors as well.
Luxembourg is winless in their last 3 matches and need a significant turnaround here.
Portugal has a formidable squad led by Ronaldo, which should make light work of this visitor.
