Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Euro 2024 match.
Portugal
Except for the last game versus Georgia (0:2) when Portugal didn't need anything, this side was very confident in the group stage. They seem to be able to reach some late stages of the tournament. I believe that nothing will prevent them from advancing to the quarter-finals. Portugal will break the Slovenian defensive line.
Slovenia
Slovenia deserved to play in the Round of 16. They ended their game versus Denmark in a draw (1:1). They were unlucky to miss the goal from Serbia in the 95th minute. A goalless draw against England let Slovenia qualify for the knockout stage. However, I don’t think they will manage to stand against motivated Portugal.
Portugal – Slovenia prediction
I think that Portugal will easily win this match. They can make a comfortable difference even in the first half. Slovenia can play well in defence but it’s not the case it will help them. Maybe there won’t be an early goal, but Portugal will definitely have no problem winning this game.
