Portugal resume their preparations for the FIFA World Cup on Monday when they take on fellow finals combatants Tunisia at the Estadio Municipal de Braga.

Both teams will travel to Russia for the World Cup, but the Portuguese are looking to bounce back from defeat after losing 3-0 to the Netherlands in their most recent friendly in March.

The European champions will be without captain Cristiano Ronaldo after he played in Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League final win over Liverpool on Saturday.

Tunisia make the trip to Braga having gone undefeated in their last seven games, conceding only four times in that space of time, and an away result on Monday would provide a timely confidence boost ahead of the World Cup.

Read on for a preview of Monday's meeting, complete with all the necessary live-stream information.

Date: Monday, May 28

Time: 7:45 p.m. BST/2:45 p.m. ET

Venue: Estadio Municipal de Braga, Braga, Portugal

Preview

Squads have started to assemble for this summer's showcase in Russia, and Portugal carry one of the most cosmopolitan line-ups in terms of the variety of leagues in which their stars are based.

While most of Tunisia's biggest talents play in France's Ligue 1, Portugal have called their most valuable assets from the Premier League, Serie A and Primeira Liga, as Metro's Jan Hagen recently reported:

The difference in pedigree between these two nations is substantial, with many of Tunisia's players coming from the CLP-1—the country's top division—and the Professional League in Saudi Arabia.

What's more, there has been controversy after Tunisian selectors chose not to pick Zulte Waregem forward Hamdi Harbaoui, who recently expressed his disappointment at missing out, per BBC reporter Oluwashina Okeleji:

It's Tunisia's defence that has captured attention most in their recent history, though, and they have now kept clean sheets in each of their last three outings, including wins over Iran and Costa Rica.

Speaking of defence, Portugal will look to combine a mix of new zest with experience at centre-back when they play host to Monday's visitors:

After conceding three to the Netherlands two months ago, the Portuguese could do with a defensive display to be proud of, particularly considering they will likely need to beat Spain if they want to top Group B at the World Cup.

The pressure will be on the hosts to impress, while Tunisia look to continue their recent run and extend their streak to eight matches in a row unbeaten with a friendly win over high-profile opposition.
