Bet on Portugal to Win
Portugal ‘are relatively high in confidence. They enter this game having won two out of their last three games (against Ireland and Finland). They do not have that many injury worries ahead of this Euro tournament and can be expected to dominate possession in this game.
The teams have played each other four times before with Portugal winning all four.
Bet on Portugal to Win 2-0
Portugal have one of the best attacks in the world featuring the likes of Bernardo Silva, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes. These three in particular will cause all sorts of trouble for the Czech Republic who have some players that are not used to regularly testing themselves against the best in the world. As long as Portugal get the basics of play right, they should dominate this match from start to finish and end it with a comfortable win.
Bet on Cristiano Ronaldo to Score
Despite being 39-years-old, Ronaldo still knows how to score. He has been scoring goals for fun in Saudi Arabia and also netted a brace in Portugal’s most recent game which was their 3-0 triumph over Ireland. If Portugal get a penalty which could well happen in this game as Bernardo and Fernandes cause them problems, Ronaldo will likely be tasked to slot the ball home.
What the Coaches Say
Portugal coach Roberto Martinez has emphasized that veteran Ronaldo will be a key part of his campaign.
‘He is an inspiration. He represents what you can dream and achieve. It’s a pleasure to have him with us. Him being with us at this moment in his career represents that he wants to be here with us, he will be here until the end. He’s our captain,’ Martinez told O Jogo as reported by Sportskeeda.
Czech coach Ivan Hasek has hailed Portugal as one of the favourites to win the tournament but also vowed that his side will go out to try and cause an upset.
“If you see Portugal, you see that they have players who play in the biggest clubs and they are the biggest stars in those clubs,” Hasek told reporters.
“So, Portugal obviously is one of the favourites of this tournament and we know that going into the game tomorrow, but we do want to win even then.”
