France were beaten to top spot in Group D by Austria who fell in the round of 16 to the Turkish and it was a narrow win for the French over Group E runners-up Belgium which set up this rematch from 2016.   Team news Portugal: Martinez has no major fitness worries despite the fatigue of extra time and Ronaldo should earn a 212th cap this Friday in Hamburg. Diogo Jota and Francisco Conceicao are in contention for a place in the XI but Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao will be tough to dislodge. Vitinha and Joao Palhinha are unlikely to budge in midfield with the latter close to joining Bayern Munich from Fulham. Possible Portugal XI: Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes; Palhinha, Vitinha; Silva, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo (c). France: Adrien Rabiot is now a free agent and is suspended here after picking up a second yellow card of the tournament against Belgium. Ousmane Dembele, Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana or Warren Zaire-Emery could come in with the Real Madrid man most likely. Kingsley Coman has been with family for the birth of his child but was unlikely to feature anyway. Rabiot has been part of a diamond midfield so that Marcus Thuram could lead the attack alongside Mbappe but Randal Kolo Muani's impact in that position suggests that he should partner his former PSG teammate instead.   Possible France XI: Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Griezmann; Mbappe (c), Kolo Muani.   Prediction This one should be tight and logically will go beyond at least 90 minutes. Do not be surprised if France need 120 minutes or even penalties to edge past Portugal with that scenario now more daunting thanks to Diogo Costa's heroics.   Ultimately, though, Les Bleus should inflict a measure of revenge for 2016 here in what could be Ronaldo's final major international tournament outing. Pick: Portugal 1, France 1 (France win on penalties).
