Portugal
While Thursday's games are a warm-up outing, we expect Portugal to name a strong XI, with Danilo Pereira and Antonio Silva potentially pairing at the heart of the defence.
Santos has plenty of options at the centre of the park, with the likes of Joao Palhinha, William Carvalho, Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes and Bruno Fernandes pushing for starting roles.
In attack, Goncalo Ramos, who has nine goals in 11 Primeira Liga matches this season, should lead the attack, alongside Otavio and Rafael Leao, while Manchester United forward Ronaldo could make an appearance off the bench.
Portugal possible starting lineup:
Sa; Dalot, Silva, Pereira, Guerreiro; Palhinha, Neves, Vitinha; Leao, Otavio, Ramos
Nigeria
As for Nigeria, in-form striker Victor Osimhen, who has netted nine goals in the Serie A this season, has withdrawn from the squad after picking up an injury while in action for Napoli at the weekend.
Alongside Osimhen, who was absent from September's 2-1 loss against Algeria due to injury, Orlando Pirates defender Olisah Ndah has also pulled out from the squad due to injury.
In the absence of both players, Chidozie Awaziem, who has 28 senior caps under his belt has been called-up to the Super Eagles' squad, while 27-year-old Cyriel Dessers takes the place of Osimhen.
Other notable names in Peseiro's 25-man squad include Francis Uzoho, who had a standout performance against Manchester United in the Europa League back in October, Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman and the Premier League trio of Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Emmanuel Dennis.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Uzoho; Awaziem, Troost-Ekong, Bassey, Akpoguma; Onyeka, Ndidi, Iwobi; Chukwueze, Dennis, Onuachu
Prediction: Portugal 3-1 Nigeria
