Portugal team leader - Cristiano Ronaldo - is set for this noon's match after suffering from knee and thigh injuries. Ronaldo is expected to commit goals and increase the chances of Portugal advancing on this match. On the contrary, German defender Jerome Boateng would probably make much of the defense or the Portuguese may bring the scoring.
Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger, who has undergone a scan on Saturday, is ready to battle with the co-European opponents. The German midfielder is playing with goalkeeper team member, Manuel Neuer.
According to reports from Daily Mail, Germany will be playing their 100th game tomorrow being the first team to reach such tally; in addition, the team only lost once of their last 18 games at the World Cup. Will this be an advantage for Bayern Munich's momentum?
Bayern is people's bet on the upcoming match-up. As what Christian Today posted, Germany is a team "that is considered among the most deadly at this year's World Cup."
Moreover, the site exposed Portugal having won only once on their last seven games at the same tournament. Despite the losses, Munich's coach Joachim Loew complimented Liga Sagres as "world champion in counterattacking." Sagres must make this an inspiration for defeating a powerful opponent.
The German manager confessed that his team was trained on Ronaldo's probable attacks. "You can't shut him down completely; he is a player who scores 50 goals a season. But we've watched a lot of videos, we know his running patterns, how he likes to lurk behind defenders. It has to be a team effort against him," Sir Joachim said.
