Possible Line-Up for Portugal Nation Team 2022 World Cup

Portugal XI (4-3-3): Diogo Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Fernandes; Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo, Leao

The first choice between the sticks should be Diogo Costa, with Porto replacing the more experienced Rui Patricio for the qualifiers and now looking poised to be Portugal’s number 1.

The second choice between the sticks should be Rui Patricio, as he has proven time and time again that he is one of the best goalkeepers in Europe. He has experience on his side and proved himself to be a top quality keeper when called upon for Portugal during Euro 2016.

Portugal National Football Team Squad 2022 World Cup In the defensive line, Ruben Dias and Pepe are likely to be the two central defenders, while Mendes and Cancelo are the main options.

Neves can play the holding midfield position, while Vitinha is slightly superior. At the same time, Fernandes will be the most offensive option. The choice of the midfield will be interesting, as it is a place where Portugal can make up for their lack of depth.

Portugal National Football Team Squad 2022 World Cup Bernardo Silva is likely to play as one of the two central midfielders and provide creativity alongside Rony Lopes.

At the same time, Joao Moutinho and Gelson Martins are also options in this role.
