Analysis and prediction of the Euro 2024 round of 16 match Portugal – Slovenia (01/07/2024)
The most intriguing stage of Euro 2024 has begun: the playoffs. The round of 16 match between Portugal and Slovenia will kick off on July 1 in Frankfurt at the Deutsche Bank Park stadium. Kick-off will be at 22:00 Moscow time.
Portugal finished the group stage of Euro 2024 in first place in the tournament standings. The Chosen Ones scored six points by defeating the Czech Republic (2-1) and Turkey (3-0), and in the final match they unexpectedly lost to Georgia (0-2). The failed result can be attributed in part to the roster rotation carried out by coach Roberto Martínez.
But at the same time it is impossible to shake off the feeling of instability in Portuguese football. In the first round the Czechs defended quite well and could have counted on a draw. Francisco Conceicao scored the winning goal in added time (2-1).
The match against Türkiye turned out to be more successful for Portugal. The rival gave the initiative to Roberto Martínez’s men, who took advantage of it calmly. Leaders Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo played well. Of them, only the Al-Nasr striker failed to score a goal.
And overall, Euro 2024 is not going well for the 39-year-old veteran. Ronaldo has not yet been able to open the scoring in the tournament, although he gives his best in every match. There is a possibility that the Portuguese leader will be left without goals scored.
Slovenia finished its three Euro 2024 matches in a draw, with Denmark (1-1), Serbia (1-1) and England (0-0). These results helped Matjaz Kek’s team reach the playoffs.
The coach’s credo helped us achieve success: a rigid formation and strict implementation of requirements. The Slovenians are physically well prepared, press skillfully and defend reliably. The main strength of the team is Jan Oblak, who helps out in difficult situations.
In three matches at Euro 2024, Sochi’s Vanja Drkusic, familiar to Russian fans, and former CSKA player Jaka Biyol played well in defence. They managed to contain Manchester United star Rasmus Hoylund, Juventus attacking leader Dusan Vlahovic and last season’s top scorer in the Bundesliga, Harry Kane. Now they have to withstand the pressure of the no less dangerous Portuguese.
Slovenia is playing well at Euro 2024. In the absence of stars, the head coach emphasized tight defense and strict discipline. Portugal is formally the favorite, but its game is unstable.
Although the Slovenians are inferior in individual ability, they can count on a reliable defense. Our bet is on the victory of the “boys” with a handicap (+1) of 2.25.
Prediction and bets for the match Euro 2024 Portugal – Slovenia July 1, 2024
Matjaz Kek’s team stopped the formidable attack of the British, so they are unlikely to fear the forwards of the “chosen ones”. The Slovenian counterattacks are dangerous and could create problems for the Portuguese defense, which still does not look exemplary. They are quite capable of not losing in regulation time, so we suggest considering betting on Slovenia to win with a (+1) handicap of 2.25.
Tender: Slovenia wins with a handicap (+1) at 2.25.
