Champions League matches in Group F

Team news and probable line-ups for Tuesday's Champions League matches in Group F:

REAL MADRID v PORTO

With Real already qualified and another tough league match against Deportivo Coruna in prospect at the weekend, coach Carlos Queiroz is likely to rest several key players for the 12th European meeting between the Iberian rivals.

Striker Javier Portillo should replace Raul, while Esteban Cambiasso, Santiago Solari and Antonio Nunez are all likely get their chance, giving midfielders David Beckham, Ivan Helguera and Zinedine Zidane a chance to recover from minor niggles.

Reserve goal keeper Cesar should get a run-out in place of Iker Casillas, who was at his brilliant best in the 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Barcelona on Saturday. Versatile midfielder Guti will not get a chance to show his skills, though, as he is still suffering from a knee ligament injury.

Porto who have lost all five European matches they have played at Madrid, will be without suspended captain Jorge Costa and midfielder Maniche. They will be replaced by Ricardo Costa and Ricardo Fernandes.

Defender Nuno Valente is recovering from an injured left leg and his place should go to Mario Silva. Left winger Cesar Peixoto is still out with knee ligaments damage.

Probable teams:

Real: 25-Cesar, 2-Michel Salgado, 22-Francisco Pavon, 15-Raul Bravo, 3-Roberto Carlos, 10-Luis Figo, 27-Antonio Nunez, 19-Esteban Cambiasso, 21-Santiago Solari, 11-Javier Portillo, 9-Ronaldo.

Porto: 99-Vitor Baia, 22-Paulo Ferreira, 5-Ricardo Costa, 4-Ricardo Carvalho, 30-Mario Silva, 25-Ricardo Fernandes, 23-Pedro Mendes, 6-Francisco Costinha, 10-Deco Souza, 77-Benni McCarthy, 11-Derlei Silva.

Referee: Steve Bennett (England).

PARTIZAN BELGRADE v OLYMPIQUE MARSEILLE

Partizan, looking for a win that would be worth a UEFA Cup place, will miss Nigeria defender Taribo West, sidelined with a niggling knee injury, but will be bolstered by midfielder Vladimir Ivic's return to full fitness and good form after a six-month asbence with a foot fracture.

Manager Lothar Matthaeus is likely to field an attacking 3-5-2 formation with Ivic and skipper Sasa Ilic directing play in the centre of midfiled, while Andrija Delibasic and Ivica Iliev are once again the favourites to start up front.

Marseille players picked up a number of injuries in their 2-1 defeat by leaders Monaco on Friday.

Swiss midfielder Fabio Celestini will miss the Belgrade game with a back injury but goalkeeper Vedran Runje and centre back Philippe Christanval should be fit.

Probable teams:

Partizan: 27-Djordje Pantic, 14-Nenad Djordjevic, 7-Milan Stojanoski, 24-Branko Savic, 2-Milivoje Cirkovic, 15-Nikola Malbasa, 4-Igor Duljaj, 18-Vladimir Ivic, 22-Sasa Ilic, 9-Andrija Delibasic, 17-Ivica Iliev.

Marseille: 1-Vedran Runje, 12-Abdoulyae Meite, 4-Daniel van Buyten, 5-Philippe Christanval, 21-Johnny Ecker, 15-Pascal Johansen, 6-Brahim Hemdani, 7-Sylvain N'Diaye, 14-Stepan Vachousek, 9-Ahmed Mido, 11-Didier Drogba.

Referee: Manuel Enrique Mejuto Gonzalez (Spain).
