Portugal vs France live stream, Sky Sports Football, Saturday 14 November, 19.45pm GMT
Nations League holders Portugal will have designs on retaining the trophy this campaign, but first they must qualify for the Finals by finishing top of Group A3.
That is the position Cristiano Ronaldo and co. occupy at present, having won three and drawn one of their first four matches. France have the same record, though, and an away win at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon would put the world champions in pole position to advance with one game remaining. This is not quite a winner-takes-all encounter but the victors will be heavy favourites to qualify for the four-team tournament.
Portugal are now unbeaten in more than a year, and they have the edge in the group thanks to a superior goal difference. They showed tremendous resilience in a 0-0 draw in France last month and will be quietly confident of at least avoiding defeat by Didier Deschamps' side again here. A counter-attacking approach could suit Portugal, with France obliged to play on the front foot as they seek the win they need to climb above their upcoming opponents in the table.
France have not lost since a surprise 2-0 reverse against Turkey in June of last year. They have played some scintillating football at times in recent months - not least in a 7-1 thrashing of Ukraine - but will need to show balance between attack and defence in Lisbon this weekend. Deschamps has at times been criticised for a tendency towards caution, but it would also be a mistake for les Bleus to go too gung-ho early on in Saturday's game.
Deschamps could stick with a front three of Anthony Martial and Kylian Mbappe ahead of Antoine Griezmann, with the former pair playing as split strikers like they did in the 2-1 victory over Croatia last time out. N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba are pushing for recalls in midfield, while Hugo Lloris will win his 119th cap between the sticks.
Ronaldo has now scored 101 goals for his country and has Ali Daei's international record of 109 in his sights. He will be supported in attack by at least two of Bernardo Silva, Diogo Jota and Joao Felix.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm GMT and the game is being shown on Sky Sports Football in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch an Portugal vs France live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jamie Vardy goal. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
There are plenty of options out there, including:
