Portugal and France will meet in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024. Prediction for the match between these teams prepared by Dailysports experts.
Portugal
The Portuguese were flawless in qualifying for the Euro, winning all ten matches, but in the final part not everything is not so smooth. The start was not bad, for two games the team not only secured the playoffs, but also guaranteed the first place in the group. In the first match they defeated Czechs 2:1, and in the second match they defeated Turkey 3:0.
A sensational defeat against Georgia - 0:2, there was no tournament motivation, but the team played to win with its experimental squad. Incredibly difficult was the match against Slovenia, Ronaldo failed to realize a penalty in overtime, it came down to the penalty shootout, here Portugal won 3-0.
France
The French national team came in the rank of one of the favorites of the tournament, after all, the vice-champions of the world. Despite their status "roosters" failed to win their group, defeated Austria 1:0, and then there were draws with the Dutch - 0:0 and Poles - 1:1, eventually second place.
In the 1/8 finals was a difficult match against Belgium, where Didier Deschamps' wards had a slight advantage, but snatched victory only in the end - 1:0, and there the ball flew into the gate with the help of a significant ricochet. The French need to unlock their attacking potential
