All pressure will be on Portugal to avoid becoming the first team to be eliminated from Euro 2012 when they face Group B opponents Denmark in Lviv on Wednesday.

Cristiano Ronaldo and co will be looking to unlock the Danish codes in the back and get away with a vital win after narrowly losing to Germany 1-0 in the opening fixture. Denmark on the other side will try to emulate their Euro 2012 qualifying success against Portugal and become the first nation qualify from the group-stages.

After being shut down by Jerome Boateng in the first game, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo will be looking to respond the critics with a better performance against the Scandinavians who really showed quality despite being touted to be the easiest team in Group B.

The Danes defeated The Netherlands thanks to a brilliant strike from Brondby winger Michael Krohn-Dehli and will be hoping for a similar performance against the exciting Portugal team which includes Luis Nani, Joao Moutinho, Pepe, Coentrao and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The pressure will be more on Portugal in Lviv as a loss will end their Euro 2012 campaign while a win will put Denmark into the quarter finals.
