Portugal wraps up their home schedule on Saturday when they host Chile in a friendly at the Estádio Nacional do Jamor in Oeiras, just 11 days before their World Cup opener.
Roberto Martinez's squad was named back on May 19, and it's a deep one. Cristiano Ronaldo is still the centerpiece at 41, but the depth around him is what makes Portugal a real contender. Bernardo Silva wears the No. 10, Bruno Fernandes the 8, and the midfield options run deep with Vitinha, João Neves, and Matheus Nunes all available.
In their March friendlies, Portugal drew 0-0 with Mexico at the Azteca and then beat the United States 2-0 in Atlanta. Chile will be a step down in quality from those opponents — La Roja have lost four of their last five away fixtures and are coming in with an interim coach in Nicolas Cordova.
After Saturday's game, Portugal has one more friendly, against Nigeria on June 10, before heading to the United States. Their World Cup path starts June 17 against DR Congo in Houston. They also face Uzbekistan in Houston on June 23 before finishing the group against Colombia in Miami on June 28.
Portugal are considered one of the favorites to go deep. Their qualifying campaign was dominant, and Martinez has kept the squad's form steady with a win rate near 70 percent during his tenure. The question, as always, is whether they can put it together when it counts.
