Betting Predictions
On Friday night, Portugal and France will play in a compelling quarterfinal of Euro 2024. The winner will square off against Germany or Spain in the heavyweight semifinal a few days later.
Slovenia forced Selecao to a penalty shootout after Cristiano Ronaldo’s spot-kick in extra time was saved. Diego Costa had an incredible shootout performance, saving all three of Slovenia’s penalties.
Les Bleus defeated Belgium in regular time, despite leaving it late hours before as well. Les Bleus put on another lackluster display, but Randal Kolo Muani’s goal broke Belgian hearts when it deflected off Jan Vertonghen.
Head-to-Head
Portugal and France will play each other in their fifth European Championship match; the Seleção has won the previous two.
Les Bleus are aware that a victory might send them back to the trophy stand after France won the first two games, 3-2 in 1984 and 2-1 in 2000.
However, if MartĂnez’s team wins here, they will also like their prospects of winning a second European Championship.
In the past four major tournaments, the teams who eliminated France in the quarterfinals went on to win the trophy.
Team News
Portugal will have suffered from a brutal and draining 120+ minutes, just four days before this crucial quarterfinal match. Due to Selecao’s lackluster midfield and offensive play, head coach Roberto Martinez may make some changes. Can defenseman Pepe, 41, be prepared for Kylian Mbappe after such a brief absence?
Antoine Griezmann returned to the starting lineup against Belgium, and it appears that this trend will continue under Didier Deschamps.
Adrien Rabiot has been punished after receiving a second yellow card, while Kylian Mbappe will continue to wear his mask.
Probable Line-Up
Portugal XI:
Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes; Palhinha, Vitinha; Silva, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo
France XI:
Maignan; Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Kolo Muani
Verdict
Tip: France Win or Drawâś…
Reason
It really is all to play for on Friday night because neither side has particularly impressed thus far in the tournament. Portugal seems to be playing a game too big here. They are incredibly talented offensively, but so are France, and Les Bleus also appear to have stronger defenses. Following Portugal’s 120-minute match against Slovenia, wherein Cristiano Ronaldo was among the players who finished, France ought to be the more experienced squad. Les Bleus could win this since they have been playing strong defense at Euro 2024, having let up only one goal thus far.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goalsâś…
Reason
Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe, two incredible goal-scorers, will square off in this match. Together, they have scored one goal at Euro 2024. Although Mbappe scored the goal, it did come from a penalty kick. In actuality, France has only scored two goals on their own at Euro 2024 and has not scored a player from open play. Except for their 1-1 tie with Poland, they have scored fewer than two goals in three of their four games. Pepe and the rest of the Selecao defense are proving to be difficult to unseat.
