When is Portugal vs Uzbekistan?

Portugal vs Uzbekistan is due to kick off at 6pm BST on Tuesday 23 June at the Houston Stadium.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on ITV1, with coverage on the channel from 5pm BST. A live stream will be available via ITVX.

Team news

Ruben Dias remains a doubt for Portugal with the centre half carrying an injury and not risked for the opener against DR Congo. It seems unlikely that the Manchester City defender will start, which may mean that an unchanged team is named.

Uzbekistan are not thought to have any fresh injury issues for manager Fabio Cannavaro to contend with.

Predicted line-ups

Portugal XI: Costa; Cancelo, Araujo, Veiga, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Fernandes; Silva, Neto, Ronaldo.

Uzbekistan XI: Yusupov; Khusanov, Abdullaev, Ashurmatov; Karimov, Mozgovoy, Shukurov, Nasrullaev; Fayzullayev, Urunov, Shomurodov
