Portugal know improvement is a must as they take on Uzbekistan in their second group fixture at the World Cup.
A 1-1 draw with DR Congo represented a disappointing start for Roberto Martinez’s side and led to renewed questions over Cristiano Ronaldo’s role.
The Portugal captain appears certain to keep his place in the forward line as his sixth tournament continues, and he’ll be chasing a better performance against the World Cup debutants.
Uzbekistan showed some defensive steel as they successfully frustrated Colombia for periods of their first fixture, though eventually fell to a 3-1 defeat.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Group K clash.

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
