The match of the Euros quarter finals becomes exciting as the penultimate Euro champions Portugal battles it out with the 2times Euro champions France at this stage of the competition.

 

Portugal’s dramatic quarterfinal victory over Slovenia was a testament to the heroics of Diogo Costa. His last-minute save from Pepe’s error in stoppage time kept Portugal alive, and his penalty-saving prowess in the shootout, stopping three spot-kicks, proved decisive. While Cristiano Ronaldo will be grateful for Costa’s clean-up of his missed penalty in extra time, the job is far from over. The Portuguese face a formidable opponent in the semi-finals, and they’ll need every ounce of their resilience and determination to advance. They will have to win France if they are to further their plans of winning the Euros again. They have not won France in recent times and they have to do a lot of work of overcome this French team.

France who have not really enjoyed the flare they use to experience in their performance will have to beat Portugal to get to the next stage. Despite a few offside goals and a struggle to find the back of the net consistently, France remains a formidable force. They’ll be looking to overcome Portugal, a team they’ve historically had success against. With the likes of Kante and Mbappe leading the charge, they’ll be aiming for an impressive performance. Their recent form, with two wins and two draws in their last four Euro games, suggests they’re ready for the challenge. France’s defensive solidity has been a key factor in their success, with three clean sheets in their last four matches. They’ll be aiming to maintain this impressive form as they face Portugal, hoping to shut down the Portuguese attack and secure another clean sheet.

The head-to-head record between these two giants is heavily in favor of France, who have won five of their last ten encounters against Portugal. Portugal, however, will be determined to break this trend and secure their first victory over France in over a decade. A win would not only be a significant achievement but also propel them into the semi-finals. France, on the other hand, will be looking to continue their dominance over Portugal and advance to the next stage of the tournament. This clash of titans promises a fierce battle, with both teams eager to claim victory. While Mbappe will be aiming to showcase his brilliance, Cristiano Ronaldo will be seeking his first goal of the tournament. Both teams will be relying on their star players to deliver their best performances and lead them to the semi-finals.
