Match Preview: Portugal vs Czech Republic
Portugal were crowned Champions of Europe in 2016 when Eder gave the nation a historic victory in extra-time against France. A Selecao das Quinas could not repeat their success in the following tournament as they exited in the Round of 16 after a 1-0 defeat to Belgium thanks to a solitary Thorgan Hazard goal.
Roberto Martinez is now the man tasked with bringing glory to Portugal and he is lucky to have a squad that is absolutely teeming with talent. Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Joao Cancelo, Raphael Leao and of course the top goalscorer in international football, Cristiano Ronaldo, are just some of the high-profile players in an excellent squad.
The Czech Republic exceeded expectations at Euro 2020 and made it to the quarter finals where they were beaten 2-1 by Denmark. Talisman Patrick Schick finished as the joint-top scorer in that tournament having bagged five goals along with a certain Cristiano Ronaldo, and he comes here fresh off the back of a remarkable season with Bayer Leverkusen clinching the Bundesliga title.
Manager Ivan Hasek will have been reasonably pleased with the hand he has been dealt in Group F, with fixtures against Portugal, Turkey and Georgia. This certainly provides his side with a chance to advance to the knockout stage, however they are massive underdogs to come out on top in their opener. Portugal are the 4/7 favourites to start their campaign with a win and with the quality they possess in their ranks, we are happy to get behind them here.
The Best Betting Markets for Portugal vs Czech Republic
Portugal will provide the Czech Republic with a stern test in their Group F opener. The pair faced off twice in 2022 in the UEFA Nations League, with Portugal winning both matches by scorelines of 2-0 and 4-0. It would be no surprise to see them put down a marker of intent here and backing them with a -1 match handicap is our recommendation at 13/8, meaning this bet will win should they win by two or more goals.
Most player proposition markets are yet to be released by the bookmakers, however when they do, it could be worth checking out Patrick Schick’s price in the shots on target market. The Czech forward has recorded seven shots on target across his last seven competitive internationals and is not afraid to have a crack from distance, as seen when scoring from near the half-way line at Euro 2020.
Portugal vs Czech Republic Head-to-Head Statistics
These two teams have faced off on five occasions in their history with the first of those being in 1996 when the Czech Republic were 1-0 winners at Euro 1996. That victory is their only win, with Portugal coming out on top in all of the other four matches. The pair clashed twice in the UEFA Nations League in 2022 with Portugal managing a 2-0 and 4-0 win.
