The winner of this game will win the group, while a draw would leave the top spot up for grabs going into the final round of fixtures. Portugal play Croatia and France play Sweden on Tuesday.
PORTUGAL (4-3-3): Rui Patricio; Raphael Guerreiro, Ruben Dias, Jose Fonte, Joao Cancelo; Bruno Fernandes, Danilo Pereira, William Carvalho; Joao Felix, Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva.
SUBS: Joao Moutinho, Rui Silva, Pedro Neto, Paulinho, Anthony Lopes, Sergio Oliveira, Francisco Trincao, Mario Rui, Ruben Semedo, Diogo Jota, Nelson Semedo, Ruben Neves.
FRANCE (4-3-3): Hugo Lloris; Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, Raphael Varane, Benjamin Pavard; Adrien Rabiot, N’Golo Kante, Paul Pogba; Kingsley Coman, Anthony Martial, Antoine Griezmann.
SUBS: Olivier Giroud, Clement Lenglet, Leo Dubois, Ruben Aguilar, Moussa Sissoko, Steve Mandanda, Marcus Thuram, Lucas Digne, Steven Nzonzi, Mike Maignan, Corentin Tolisso, Kurt Zouma.
Just look at those teams! We could be in for a treat here. Kylian Mbappe is the headline absence, as he hasn’t recovered from his hamstring injury in time to make the France squad. Coman does return despite an ankle knock, and Portugal’s XI is basically what you would expect. More than half of their bench either plays for Wolves or recently left Wolves for Liverpool.

Portugal don't have a good record against France, losing 18 of their 26 games against them. They are unbeaten in the last two, though, including the 0-0 draw in Paris last month.
