Friday night’s encounter is a mammoth showdown.
Portugal booked their place against France by squeezing past Slovenia in the Round of Last 16. It did take penalties to decide the game though.
Elsewhere, France, although one of the early tournament favourites, have so far flattered to deceive. Les Bleus, led by a battered and bruised Kylian Mbappe, have so far appeared far from at their best.
The winner of this quarter-final will play the winner of Spain vs Germany.

Portugal vs France team news
Portugal are at full strength but a brutal matchup, decided on penalties, against Slovenia last time out could force Roberto Martinez into some changes.
The biggest question marks will be around Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar had a night to forget against Slovenia including missing a crucial spot kick half way through extra time. The former Real Madrid Galactico did make up for his earlier error by scoring Portugal’s second penalty during a shootout which saw goalkeeper Diogo Costa save three in a row.
