Portugal v Israel Live Commentary, Jun 09, 2021

Israel failed to qualify for the Euros, but will still provide a tough test for Santos' side. They are unbeaten in their last three matches, holding Scotland to a 1-1 draw and beating Moldova 4-1 in their last two World Cup qualifying matches. Willibald Ruttensteiner's men crushed Montenegro in their last outing and will be out for a scalp of the reigning European champions.

Portugal are finalising their preparations for the defence of their European Championship crown. Fernando Santos has one final game to test his players ahead of their opener against Hungary next Tuesday. The Selecao drew 0-0 against Spain in their last outing, but they will be targeting a victory to take momentum into the tournament, especially for their key men in the final third.
