Storylines
Belgium: They've been very good so far in the competition, but this figures to be their biggest test yet. How will the defense handle Cristiano Ronaldo? We can expect Roberto Martinez's team to be much more cautious at the back with a defensive midfielder potentially sitting deeper as well. When Portugal can get the ball in the middle and play down the flanks, they can cause some serious trouble, so expect Belgium to look to be disruptive in the middle, while aiming to be patient in attack.
Portugal: They held their own against France, scoring two penalties, but those penalty kicks aren't always going to be there. This has a chance to get ugly, and not in their favor. While the defense at moments has looked brilliant, their poor positioning at times can get them in a world of trouble. They'll need a near-perfect match in defense to win it outright. Ronaldo can do enough on his own to get them through, but some assistance would be welcome. They area the clear underdogs and will need their best performance of the cup to past this test.
Prediction
The Red Devils get off to a hot start and hold on, denying a late Ronaldo chance to advance. Pick: Belgium 2, Portugal 1
