Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Portugal vs Czech Republic

Portugal

The Portuguese national team shows a good level of play, the team has been participating in every World Cup since 1996, and now the team will be playing for the eighth tournament in a row. At world championships, the “chosen ones” are also very successful; since 2002, the team has consistently been in the main round of the tournament. Roberto Martinez's boys also went through the last qualifying round of Euro 2024 in one breath; at the group stage, the Portuguese accumulated a series of 10 victories in a row. The Portuguese national team made a mistake only in the last friendly match, losing to Slovenia 0:2 on the road.

This failure interrupted the Lusitanians' streak of 11 victories.

Czech Republic

The Czech national team is a strong team that regularly participates in the decisive stages of international tournaments. After the collapse of Czechoslovakia, “lokomotiv” did not miss a single tournament, participating in all eight draws. This time, Ivan Hasek’s team also performed at a decent level in qualifying; the team became second in Group E, behind only the Albanian team in additional indicators.

“Lokomotiv” also performs well in friendly matches, beating Armenia 2:1 in the last one.

Game Totals Prediction

Portugal is determined to regain the title of continental champion, the team has everything for this. The Czech Republic wants to play in the playoffs , this is the minimum task for the national team. The Portuguese are perfectly prepared for the Euro, their teams are balanced, there are veterans and a lot of young people, the class of performers is beyond doubt. The Czechs are a strong team, they simply won’t give points to anyone. As for the head-to-head match, I think the Lusitians will be able to demonstrate their level and class: Portugal wins with a handicap (-1.5) – 2.43.
