Portugal vs Czech Republic Prediction

Portugal come into this tournament in a very favourable group, with the 2016 winners expected to progress as the winner of Group F with 9 points. Having won all of their 10 Euro Qualification games, Portugal manager Roberto Martinez has overseen the progression of a squad that contains some world-class individuals in all areas of the pitch. After scoring 36 goals and only conceding twice in their 10 Euro Qualification games, it is no surprise that this very strong Portugal squad includes the top assister and second top goalscorer throughout the qualification stage, and having beaten the Czech Republic in both of their recent meetings with a combined score of 6-0 in 2022, this is likely to be another comfortable win. Nevertheless, in their recent friendlies in 2024, Portugal have played Croatia, Finland, Slovenia, and Sweden, and have conceded 2 goals in each of these games. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them fail to keep another clean sheet to kick off their tournament, with the Czech Republic having scored 11 goals in their first 3 friendlies of 2024. With their form during the qualification stage, and recent meetings between these sides, I would expect a Portugal to win with both sides scoring. PREDICTION: Portugal 3-1 Czech Republic (12/1 with bet365) Only the Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku scored more goals in Euro Qualification than Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo isn’t a player that will shy away from the big stage, and in recent tournaments for Portugal, the forward has performed strongly, winning the Golden Boot in the most recent Euro’s after scoring 5 goals, and finishing in second behind French forward Antoine Griezmann in the Euro’s prior. This is a game that Portugal will likely score a few goals, and Cristiano Ronaldo will see it as an opportunity to start the tournament strong in his bid to win another Golden Boot. PREDICTION: Cristiano Ronaldo to score anytime (10/11 with bet365)
