Seeking to divert attention away from the never-ending Cristiano Ronaldo saga, Portugal begin another quest for international stardom when they meet Ghana in their World Cup Group H opener at Doha's Stadium 974 on Thursday.
Fernando Santos's side will also face Uruguay and South Korea in a challenging section, as their African counterparts face an uphill battle to make it through to the knockout stages.
Ghana secured an impressive win over Switzerland in their final competitive on-field business before the World Cup, continuing a good first year under manager Otto Addo, who was installed ahead of the qualifying play-off success against Nigeria.
And this is how Ghana will be lining up at Stadium 974 today.
There is no Tariq Lamptey or Jordan Ayew, who both drop to the bench, with Daniel Amartey preferred at right wing-back in what appears to be a 3-5-2 setup.
Ghana line-up (3-5-2): Ati-Zigi; Seidu, Djiku, Salisu; Amartey, Abdul Samed, Partey, Kudus, Rahman; Williams, A. Ayew (C)
Here's the starting XI for Portugal this afternoon, with Ronaldo captaining his country once more out in Doha.
Portugal line-up (4-3-3): Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pereira, Guerreiro; Neves, Otavio, Fernandes; Felix, Silva, Ronaldo (C)
