TEAM NEWS: Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani start in unchanged Portugal side against Denmark
Jun 13, 2012 3:40:00 PM
Neither side makes an alteration for their second Group B match as both coaches look to trust the starting XI from matchday 1
Despite a 1-0 loss to Germany on Matchday 1 of Group B, Paulo Bento has resisted the urge to make any changes to his Portugal side for their must-win clash against Denmark.The attacking triumvirate of Nani, Ronaldo, and Postiga will be given another chance up front after failing to score against Joachim Low's side on Saturday.
Portugal are now winless in their last four matches, including friendlies, during which time the side have only scored twice.
Morten Olsen has also named an unchanged starting line-up for Denmark today, following a shock 1-0 win over the Netherlands during the opening round of Group B fixtures.
Goalscorer Khron-Dehli unsurprisingly regains his spot up front alongside Bendtner and Rommedahl.
Denmark find themselves at the top of Group B heading into the match today.
Denmark (4-3-3): Andersen; Jacobsen, Agger, Kjaer, S. Poulsen; Kvist, Eriksen, Zimling; Rommedahl, Bendtner, Krohn-Dehli
Portugal (4-3-3): Patricio; Alves, Pepe, Coentrao, Pereira; Veloso, Moutinho, Meireles; Ronald, Postiga, Nani
