Preview and Prediction

Any team having to face Ronaldo are usually considered second favourites, and Portugal will believe their superstar gives them a huge advantage over the Mexicans in Russia.

However, Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa has warned against focusing on just the Real Madrid icon as the two sides meet.

Tom Marshall of ESPN FC quoted the stopper ahead of the contest as he referenced the attacker.

"It's Portugal, not just Cristiano," said Ochoa. "We know what type of player he is, but aside from him, there are other quality players that we have to stop."

The Portuguese are blessed with creative quality, with Bernardo Silva, Ricardo Quaresma, Gelson Martins, Andre Gomes and Danilo Pereira all pushing for starts.

Silva is considered one of the brightest talents in Europe, and his recent move to Manchester City will showcase his talent on the Premier League stage next term.

The player was sublime for Monaco this past season, scoring eight goals and claiming nine assists in Ligue 1, according to WhoScored.com.

Hector Moreno should lead the defensive line for El Tri manager Juan Carlos Osorio, as the team attempts to provide Chicharito with a supply line.

Per WhoScored, Nestor Araujo could be drafted into the starting XI in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Chicharito scored only 11 goals in 26 Bundesliga appearances for Bayer Leverkusen last term, according to Squawka.

However, the striker remains his country's biggest threat against the quality and experience of Pepe.

Portugal are in excellent form, and they have responded with vigour to being the European champions.

Ronaldo has proved with Madrid he is still the alpha male of world football, despite his ageing legs, and he will want to be the hero against Mexico's versatile defence.

Prediction: Portugal win 2-1
