Slovenia will take on Portugal in an international friendly at the Stozice Stadium on Tuesday.
Portugal's excellent form in the Euro qualifiers- winning 10 out of 10 group games - will give them plenty of confidence ahead of the finals in June. This is a perfect opportunity to test the depth of the squad and it is expected that the team will field a fresh lineup, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, for this friendly.
Slovenia scored the same number of points as group winners Denmark in their qualifiers and will be eyeing a good display of hard work as they prepare for the upcoming continental competition.
