• The match will be played at Stade 974 in Doha.

  • European champion in 2016, Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal has not won a title since.

  • Quarter-finalist of the 2010 World Cup, Ghana can create a surprise.

Title contenders Portugal take on Ghana for their entry into the World Cup in Qatar.

Carried by a Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle of a storm, the

Selecção

intends to return to the front of the stage during the competition.

Portugal can go all the way

9th in the FIFA rankings, Portugal must have ambition.

With an impressive workforce, with the five-time Ballon d'Or Cristiano Ronaldo, João Felix and Bernardo Silva, the

Seleção das Quinas

is cut to be a heavy outsider at this World Cup.

4th at the 2006 World Cup, already with the fivefold Ballon d'Or in its ranks, Portugal hopes to do at least as well in the Middle East this year.

Coach Fernando Santos, in office since 2014, is on an ejection seat but a good performance in Qatar could change the situation.

Ghana in trouble

61st in the FIFA rankings, no one is betting on Ghana to qualify for the round of 16.

It must be said that with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in the group, the mission promises to be tough.

But it is badly to know the

Black Stars

, who never admit defeat. 

With Athletic Bilbao star Iñaki Williams and the Ayew brothers well known to the Marseille side, the Africans are capable of hurting the Portuguese. 

Quarter-finalists of the 2010 World Cup, Ghana lost at the time after missing a penalty caused by a now famous hand from Luis Suarez on his line.

Eliminated in the group stage of the African Cup of Nations, the selection of Otto Addo must recover in this major competition.
