New Delhi: Portugal, one of the favourites in the Euro 2024, will play the Czech Republic in Leipzig Stadium to start the tournament. When the stalwart plays in the final Euro of this year, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to lead the line for Portugal. They will be aiming for a stronger showing from this addition after a lacklustre 2021 campaign. Portugal is predicted to contend with France, England, and Germany for the trophy. They have won Euro 2016 and have advanced three more times to the tournament’s semi-finals. The 2022 World Cup quarterfinals saw the Selecao das Quinas eliminated.
On the other hand, the Czech Republic has been highly impressive and poses a significant challenge for Portugal. Martinez’s team boasts superior quality across the pitch and aims to start their campaign with a victory. The Czechs are in excellent form, winning five of their last six matches and drawing one. In contrast, Portugal has won four of their last six matches but suffered two defeats. With both teams in strong form, let’s explore how they plan to launch their campaigns.
