PREVIEW

They can't afford to lose

European Championship hosts Portugal will be knocked out at the first hurdle on Sunday unless they break with tradition and beat neighbours Spain for the first time in a competitive international.
Portugal, with three points from two games, must win to finish in the top two in Group A while Spain, with four points, need another point to avoid hoping Greece lose against Russia.
The likelihood of at least one of the Iberian pair going out of the tournament has added extra spice to the fixture.

Although Spain have won three of the five competitive meetings and the other two have been drawn, Portugal's Brazilian coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is not bothered: "There's always a first time," he said.
Portugal last beat Spain in a friendly in Porto 23 years ago and they crashed to a 3-0 home defeat as recently as September.
"But this game will be different and we hope the outcome will be the opposite," said goalkeeper Ricardo.
Scolari, who led his own country to a fifth world crown two years ago, surprisingly left stalwarts Rui Costa and Fernando Couto out of his starting line-up against Russia on Wednesday but has not given anything away about his team for Sunday.
Spain have unhappy memories of recent games against host nations at major competitions, following controversial defeats by England at Euro 96 and South Korea at the 2002 World Cup.
The players say they have no concerns about the referee this time, despite the best efforts of the Spanish sports media to whip up controversy.
"The referee is experienced and is not going to be influenced by Spain or Portugal," winger Vicente said.
Vicente's form on the left and Joaquin's on the right will be vital to Spain's chances, especially as Raul has been struggling up front.
Vicente was outstanding in Spain's 1-0 win over Russia, while Joaquin ran riot in the 1-1 draw against Greece after coming on as a second-half substitute for Joseba Etxeberria.
Joaquin is almost certain to start on Sunday, with Etxeberria all but ruled out with a muscle strain, and coach Inaki Saez will be forced to replace suspended centre-back Carlos Marchena. Cesar and Juanito are his two options.
Xabi Alonso also hopes to make the starting 11 but Ruben Baraja may be a more solid bet to partner David Albelda in midfield.
