Portugal vs France predictions

Portugal and France ground their way into the Euro 2024 quarter-finals and, for all the attacking talent in their squads, an attritional contest is expected in Hamburg.

The teams met in the final of Euro 2016, when a 109th-minute goal from Eder gave Portugal a 1-0 victory over the tournament hosts at the Stade de France.

The French forwards have had a similarly frustrating time at this tournament, where their 1-0 wins over Austria in the group stage and Belgium in the last 16 were both sealed by own goals from opposition defenders.

Les Bleus' only other strike was a Kylian Mbappe penalty in the 1-1 draw with Poland and they were fortunate that VAR disallowed a Xavi Simons effort in their goalless Group D stalemate with the Netherlands.

No goalscorer has been a winning bet in four of France's last five internationals, as they drew 0-0 with Canada in their last prep game before the Euros, and under 1.5 goals looks a solid bet as it is hard to see Les Bleus cutting loose against Portugal.

Roberto Martinez's side were well backed in the build-up to the tournament but they are back out to 9-1 after ending up in the same half of the draw as France, Germany and Spain.

Portugal should have the squad to compete with those teams but they made heavy weather of their last-16 tie against Slovenia, winning on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal drought at the Euros continued as his extra-time penalty was superbly saved by Jan Oblak.

But Oblak's opposite number Diogo Costa proved to be the match-winner, saving Slovenia's first three penalties while Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva converted their spot-kicks.

Costa will be wary of the threat posed by France star Mbappe, who missed the draw with the Netherlands due to a broken nose but had five shots on target on his return to action against Poland.

Mbappe was less influential against Belgium, when only two of France's 19 attempts were on target and they needed an 85th-minute deflection off Jan Vertonghen to beat Red Devils keeper Koen Casteels.

Portugal won their first two group games, beating the Czech Republic 2-1 thanks to a 92nd-minute winner and easing to a 3-0 victory over Turkey.

However, Martinez's men were shut out in a shock 2-0 defeat to Georgia on matchday three and the seemingly undroppable Ronaldo failed to find the net with eight shots against Slovenia.

His presence means the sparky Diogo Jota is likely to be on the bench again alongside PSG striker Goncalo Ramos, who scored a last-16 hat-trick against Switzerland at the 2022 World Cup but has been restricted to just 24 minutes of playing time at the Euros.
