Portugal vs. Slovenia expected lineups, starting 11, team news: Ronaldo, Leao set to start Euro 2024 last-16 showdown

Portugal will be back at full strength after relaxing in the group stage finale when they take on an unbeaten and upset-minded Slovenia side at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on Monday in the Round of 16 stage of Euro 2024.

Roberto Martinez's side finished top of Group F, but they did so in an arguably unsatisfactory manner: The Selecao required a last-minute winner against Czechia to win their opener, while Georgia beat them 2-0 in the last group game, albeit when they were already confirmed as group winners following a 3-0 victory over Turkey sandwiched in between.

They face a Slovenia side, who qualified with the lowest points total in the tournament yet remain undefeated after drawing all three of their group-stage matches to earn a first-ever knockout berth at a major tournament.

Portugal vs. Slovenia lineups & team news

After Portugal's largely second-string XI was beaten in stunning fashion by Georgia, Roberto Martinez's side will be back to full strength for their Round of 16 encounter with Slovenia.

There were few noteworthy outliers, such as Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line in pursuit of a goal that never came, Diego Costa remaining between the sticks, and Joao Palhinha patrolling the engine room in the group finale.

All three should retain their places in Frankfurt, while other key men Bruno Fernandes , Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias should all come back into the lineup.

Martinez might change formation after a switch to a three-man backline in the dead-rubber against Georgia, with a 4-2-3-1 system likely to be anchored by midfielders Palhinha and Vitinha . Rafael Leao is back from suspension to take up his spot on the left flank ahead of Joao Felix .

Joao Cancelo should be favoured over Manchester United's Diogo Dalot , with Bernardo Silva a sure starter on the right wing. Pepe and Dias will form the central defensive partnership after Antonio Silva's error for Georgia's opening goal.

Portugal starting lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Costa (GK) — Cancelo, Pepe, Dias, Mendes — Vitinha, Palhinha — B. Silva, Fernandes, Leao — Ronaldo.

Injuries: None

Suspensions: None

Slovenia's habit of fielding the same squad for every game at Euro 2024 will come to an end when they meet Portugal in the last 16.

Matjaz Kek has stuck with the same side throughout the Euros, helped by star striker Benjamin Sesko recovering from a slight knock to start the 0-0 draw against England.

However, left-back Erik Janza will be sidelined for this game having received his second booking of the tournament.

Alanyaspor defender Jure Balkovec is the likely replacement as Slovenia prepare to unfurl their tried-and-tested 4-4-2 formation against one of Europe's most potent attacks.

Slovenia starting lineup (4-4-2, right to left): Oblak — Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol, Balkovec — Stojanovic, Elsnik, Gnezda Cerin, Mlakar — Sporar, Sesko.

Injuries: None

Suspensions: Janza
