Portugal vs Ghana live stream: How to watch World Cup fixture online and on TVPortugal renew their bid for their first ever World Cup trophy when they face Ghana in Qatar.

The Independent will be covering this game and all others at the World Cup with our live blog commentary. What is the team news? There is a full squad available for Ghana, so the most likely scenario is an unchanged line-up from their last game. Pushing Mohammed Kudus further upfield was an important tactical switch for that game and he will again be key in supporting striker Inaki Williams.
They did come fourth in 2006 but have not gotten past the last 16 since, exiting at that stage in 2010 and 2018 while crashing out in the group in 2014. With superstar Cristiano Ronaldo leading them on the pitch, however, it always feels like Portugal have a shot at glory, and the 37-year-old will feel especially motivated in what may mark his final World Cup. This time around, he and his teammates will have to navigate Group H, first facing Ghana before taking on Uruguay and South Korea.

A revenge win here would be enough for the Black Stars to reach the last 16 for the third time since 2006, while a draw would also be okay if South Korea do not beat Portugal. Uruguay, meanwhile, are in must-win mode after following a stalemate against Korea with a defeat by the Portuguese, with anything less resulting in elimination. They need all three points and a favour from Cristiano Ronaldo and Co in Al Rayyan.

Ghana vs Uruguay: World Cup 2022 preview12 years have now passed since that fateful quarter-final tie in South Africa, when Luis Suarez was sent off for preventing a certain winning goal with a handball on the line in the dying seconds of extra-time, only for Asamoah Gyan to miss the resulting penalty and Ghana to fall in heartbreaking fashion in the shootout. Ghanaian fans still hold plenty of animosity for that divisive act from Suarez hailed as villainous in some parts and genius in others, which adds extra spice to a key clash in the final round of Group H fixtures.
Mensah had been drafted in to replace Chelsea’s Reading loanee Baba Rahman at left-back.
