Portugal are in action for the first time at UEFA Euro 2020 this week as they take on Hungary in a crucial Group F encounter in Budapest on Tuesday. Portugal have an excellent squad and are the favourites to win this match.
Hungary, on the other hand, will need a miracle to get out of Group F and cannot afford to put a foot wrong in this match. The Magyars are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset and will need to step up to the plate this week.
Portugal, on the other hand, have assembled a formidable squad for the Euros and could potentially defend their crown this season. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes are in excellent form and will want to make their mark in this match.

Hungary (HUN) vs Portugal (POR) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Cristiano Ronaldo is an obvious must-have in this eleven and has been Portugal's talisman for the longest time in international competitions. The modern-day legend has scored 36 goals for Juventus this season and will be key to his side's chances of success.
Bruno Fernandes is another important name to field for this game and is Portugal's chief creative force in this match. With 18 goals and 12 assists in the Premier League, the Manchester United man is also a goal threat and can be devastating at his best.
Hungary also have a fair share of impressive options and the likes of Roland Sallai can punch above their weight. Bernardo Silva is an alternative in midfield although Joao Moutinho is more likely to start against Hungary.
