Euro 2024 | Portugal VS Czech Republic; Wednesday 19 June at 03:00 GMT +8

Portugal, the first favorite in group F, has won a place at the EURO with all 10 victories in their qualifying group. Their ambition and desire for a new trophy are immense, and they will do their best to lift it for the second time in their history, after 2016. However, the best team on paper does not always win, and Portugal and their new coach Roberto Martinez have a super-quality team filled in all positions.

The Czech Republic has long dreamed of a repeat of 1976, when they won the only European champion title so far. They were close to the trophy in 1996 but currently lack the necessary quality for such a feat. The match between Portugal and the Czech Republic is expected to continue with 100% efficiency, with Portugal almost having two quality players in each position.

One of the key players in the game will be Manchester United player Bruno Fernandes, who will feed Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Rafael Leao, and other stars with precise passes. The Czech Republic is a well-coordinated team with players from domestic clubs and high-quality players from the strongest European leagues. Portugal’s experience and high-quality players should make them an attractive opponent in this tie.

Roberto Martinez has frequently changed his team’s formations and lineups in preparatory matches, leaving it unclear which 11 players will play in the upcoming match, as he has frequently changed formations in matches, even during qualifiers.

The Czech Republic will be represented by nine Slavia Prague players, along with West Ham duo Soucek-Coufal, and the team is expected to have players from new German champion Bayer Leverkusen, including Patrik Schick-Adam Hlozek-Matej Kovar.

Portugal
