Portugal produced some impressive displays in their first two games. Scolari made eight changes in the 2-0 defeat from Switzerland resting some key players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco, Simao and Nuno Gomes.

"I could, but I'm not going to change anything. In principle it will be the same team," said the Brazilian tactician.

Germany’s clash could be Scolari’s last game with Portugal as he is set to take charge of Chelsea after the EURO.
