Son Heung-min will again be a certain starter for Bento's team in this match, with the 30-year-old set to win his 107th cap for the national side, while Napoli's Kim Min-jae will line up in the middle of the defence.

Cho Gue-sung scored twice against Ghana last time out and will again lead the line for South Korea, while Kwon Chang-hoon should retain his spot in a wide position.

There should also be a spot in the middle of the park for Hwang In-beom.

As for Portugal, Nuno Mendes had to be substituted in the latter stages of the first half against Uruguay last time out, and the defender has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament.

Danilo is also out with fractured ribs, while Otavio is a doubt with the injury that forced him to sit out the game against Uruguay last time out.
