Confirmed Portugal v Spain World Cup Team News

Portugal and Spain get set to lock horns in an eagerly anticipated round of 16 clash at Dallas Stadium on Monday night.

An uneventful first half in Toronto was followed by an all-action second 45 as Portugal defeated Croatia on Friday to book their place in the last 16, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Goncalo Ramos amongst the goals for Roberto Martinez's side.

While they displayed grit to get back into the game after going a goal down in the 53rd minute, it wasn't the most inspiring Portugal performance and you'd suspect that they will need to improve if they are to overcome reigning European champions Spain.

Luis de la Fuente's side were flawless as they cruised to a convincing 3-0 victory over Austria in the round of 32, recording a fourth consecutive clean sheet and retaining their status as the only team to not concede at the World Cup.

Martinez has made one change to the Portugal XI that started against Croatia. Joao Felix replaces Rafael Leao, despite the AC Milan winger impressing last time out against Croatia.
