"Our minimum objective now is to arrive in the last eight and we've been working hard on that for the past year and a half," Scolari was quoted as saying by Sky Sports on Saturday.

"I'm satisfied in the three games we scored five goals, that's an excellent average in the World Cup and we won't change anything just because we're facing Holland," he added.

Scolari has previously lead Portugal to the Euro 2004 finals after they beat Holland in the semi final and the Brazilian coach said that this time around it will be a very different and close contest against the Dutch team.

"We are not better than Holland, we are equal. I think the difference could be as narrow as one goal and maybe that will be decided after extra time or can go to penalties," Scolari insisted.

After resting most of his key players in his last group game against Mexico, Scolari will have a fully-fit Portuguese team to pick from against Holland in the game that will be staged in Nuremberg on Sunday.
