A place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is up for grabs as Portugal host North Macedonia in Porto.
The visitors stunned Euro 2020 winners Italy with a 1-0 victory to reach the final, and will be hoping to cause another shock.
Meanwhile, Fernando Santos’ side produced a strong performance to win 3-1 and end Turkey’s hopes at the semi-final stage.
It is a first competitive meeting between the two nations - having only previously drawn 0-0 in a friendly back in 2012 - and one which will decide which country is in the hat come Friday’s World Cup group stage draw.
