Portugal's Probable Starting XI vs New Zealand – Confederations Cup

After drawing their first game against Mexico 2-2, European Champions Portugal bounced back to earn all three points against hosts Russia in the Confederations Cup.
The Seleccao are currently second in their group and next up, they will face arguably the weakest side of the competition, New Zealand.
The All Whites were beaten 2-0 by Russia in the opening game of the tournament and were eliminated after losing 2-1 against Mexico in the second contest.
Portugal just need a point in their final game to confirm a place in the semi finals of the competition and we can expect them to rest a few key players.
Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to start on the bench tomorrow. New Zealand will be happy with that because the star playmaker has netted 15 goals in his last 9 games for Real Madrid and Portugal.
In case you want to take a punt on who will be winning the match tomorrow, you can always look for the betting tips. Goes without saying, Portugal are favorites to earn all three points.
Expect Santos to select the likes of Nelson Semedo, Luis Neto and Jose Fonte in his starting XI vs New Zealand. Former Manchester United star Nani started on the bench vs Russia and he may return in place of Ronaldo.
Starting XI: Patricio; Neto, Semedo, Fonte, Eliseu; Gomes, Danilo, Adrien Silva, Bernardo Silva, Andre Silva; Nani
