Portugal
Portugal are making their Confederations Cup debut on the back of their first triumph in a major international competition at Euro 2016. They seem keen to make a strong impression with an experienced squad that features very few changes from the one that tasted success in France last summer.
Fernando Santos is likely to stick to his tried and tested counter-attacking template, with a solid back-line, athletic midfield and swift attackers capable of breaking forward at pace and laying on chances for primary goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo. They were not the most aesthetically pleasing side at the European Championship but they got the job done.
Portugal can be expected to progress from their group and will then seek to keep things tight from the semi-finals onwards and hope enough marginal things go their way to lead them to glory.
