Portugal may have topped Group F at Euro 2024 but Roberto Martinez's side will still want to prove their title-winning credentials when they meet Slovenia for their last-16 clash on Monday in Frankfurt.
The Selecao breezed through their qualifying pool as group winners, defeating Czech Republic 2-1 and Turkey 3-0 before a disappointing performance on Matchday 3 against Georgia.
Slovenia, meanwhile, come into the contest as a major underdog, having drawn all three of their group-stage matches to get to the Round of 16.
