Denmark will hope to build on their positive run while Portugal are desperate to gain maximum points when the two sides come together in Group B tomorrow.

Denmark and Portugal meet in Lviv, Ukraine to kick off the second round of Group B matches at Euro 2012 tomorrow.

The Danes will be bouyed by their start to the campaign following a shock 1-0 win over the Netherlands, which pushed them to the top of the group.

Meanwhile, Portugal will be determined to grab three points after suffering a 1-0 loss to one of the tournament favourites Germany.

Denmark have no major injury concerns ahead of the clash, with manager Morten Olsen expected to name the same side that secured top spot in the group, which indicates that Liverpool defender Daniel Agger, who was deemed Sports Mole's man of the match against the Dutch, should captain the side.

Portugal boss Paulo Bento could welcome the return of Hugo Almeida to the side following the striker's recovery from flu, which could force Helder Postiga to the bench, while Ricardo Quaresma could also feature on the wings at some stage during the clash after overcoming a leg problem.

Current form:

Denmark: WWLLWW
Portugal: DWDDLL

Possible starting lineups:

Denmark: Andersen; Jacobsen, Kjaer, Agger, S Poulsen; Zimling, Kvist; Rommedahl, Eriksen, Krohn-Dehli; Bendtner

Portugal: Rui Patricio; Pereira, Pepe, Alves, Coentrao; Meireles, Veloso, Moutinho; Nani, Almeida, Ronaldo

Sports Mole says: 1-2
