Where does this leave England?
Roy Hodgson's men will play the second-placed
team in Group F - but that could be any of the
four teams, who are separated by three points.
Austria and Iceland also play at 5pm.
.
If Hungary win, one of Iceland or Austria will
come second, and therefore play England. If
Portugal win, they could still top the group -
provided Iceland don't win and score more.
Even Austria, currently last, could come second,
should they win and Portugal and Hungary draw.

It's all quite complicated, and liable to be
transformed by a goal at any given point, your
guess is as good as ours.

What are the two camps saying?
Portugal coach Fernando Santos is "absolutely
sure" Cristiano Ronaldo will break his duck at
Euro 2016 during Wednesday's decider against
Hungary, as his side search for the three points
needed to be certain of a place in the last 16.
.
The Real Madrid star had a frustrating night on
Saturday when he missed a penalty and his side
were held to a goalless draw by Austria in their
second Group F fixture.

The Selecao das Quinas have scored a single goal
so far in the tournament, recording a 1-1 draw in
their opener against Iceland, and they could not
add to their tally in their second match despite
sending in 23 shots - six of those on target - as
well as hitting the woodwork twice.
.
However, this is not something which worries
Santos, who backed his misfiring striker as he
told a press conference: "Ronaldo is a player
who scores a lot of goals and I'm absolutely sure
he will score in the next game against Hungary.

"It was the first time (against Austria) we failed
to score under my reign. We created many
chances, we didn't score, but I think we will next
time. It doesn't matter if we play better or ugly
football."

Santos is likely to lose both Andre Gomes and
Raphael Guerreiro for the clash in Lyon as they
sustained muscular injuries during the weekend
stalemate.

Defender Bruno Alves insisted that, despite a
delicate situation, everything was still in
Portugal's hands. "It's up to us to break them
down. We need to believe and trust in ourselves,
that we are able to beat them," he said.

Should they finish second, Portugal would face
England in the last 16. Hungary are currently top
of the group and need just a point to progress
but history points out that Bernd Storck's side
have lost all five competitive games between the
two nations to date.

Hungarian supporters were involved in
disorders at Stade Velodrome in Marseille on
Saturday, as they set off flares and clashed with
stewards following the 88-minute leveller
against Iceland.

UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings over
the chaos and will announce their sanction on
Tuesday, making it yet another team to face
punishment during Euro 2016.

Skipper Balazs Dzsudzsak urged the fans not to
cause further troubles ahead of Wednesday
night's clash in Lyon.

"I ask that everyone continues to support us,
but in a way which does not give reason for any
possible punishment," he said. "Only the events
on the field will determine how we finish the
European Championship."
