Georgia
Following a respectable point against the Czech Republic last time out, Georgia are expected to name an unchanged XI for their final Group F match.
Although yet to find the net this summer, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains the main man for the Crusaders and will be looking to produce a historic moment on Wednesday.
After picking up a yellow card on Saturday, captain Guram Kashia will need to avoid another caution if he wishes to be available for a potential round-of-16 tie.
Georgia possible starting lineup:
Mamardashvili; Kverkveliya, Kashia, Dvali; Kakabadze, Mekvabishvili, Kochorashvili, Tsitaishvili; Davitashvili, Kvaratskhelia; Mikautadze
Portugal
After picking up two yellow cards in the opening two matches of the competition, Rafael Leao will be unable to feature for Portugal on Wednesday night in Gelsenkirchen.
As a result, Martinez will need to come up with solutions on the left side of his attack, where Wolves talisman Pedro Neto could be in line for a start.
Both walking the suspension tightrope, midfielder enforcer Joao Palhinha and last week's matchwinner Francisco Conceicao are a caution away from suspension.
With top spot already sealed, it remains to be seen whether 39-year-old Ronaldo will lead the line for Portugal once again, with Paris Saint-Germain's Goncalo Ramos representing a capable deputy.
Portugal possible starting lineup:
Costa; Semedo, A Silva, Dias, Cancelo; Neves, Palhinha; B Silva, Fernandes, Felix; Ronaldo
Prediction: Georgia 1-3 Portugal
