Analysis
Portugal is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They won 3 of their 5 friendlies leading up to this tournament, but they were even better in the qualifying group. They won their group in the qualifiers and they did it winning all 10 of their matches. Their attack and their defense was also great in those matches as they scored 36 goals in their 10 qualifying matches and only allowed 2 goals in that span. They are going up against a Czechia side that has also been in good form in their friendlies leading up to this tournament, but they were not very impressive in the Euro qualifiers. They finished in 2nd place of their group behind Albania and they also allowed 6 goals in their 8 matches in that group. Czechia has some talent in the midfield, but they are not going to be able to control this match the way Portugal will with the talent they have. Czechia's only chances to score goals in this match will be on the counter and they will struggle as Portugal has a very good defense and they do not allow many goals. They also have a lot more attacking talent and scoring goals was something that they struggled with in the qualifiers when they played stronger opponents. Czechia does not have the defense to keep this Portugal attack out of their net and they will be looking to make a statement with what might be Ronaldo's last Euro Cup for them. Portugal will win this match and collect all 3 points, take Portugal -1 here. UEFA Euro Cup: Portugal -1, Rot. 225446
