This is one of the most lopsided matches in the Euro 2024 round of 16, perhaps behind Spain and Georgia. Portugal will start as favourites for their match against Slovenia at the Frankfurt Arena, on Monday 1 July at 9pm.
The 2016 European champions face a Slovenian team that lacks much experience at this level of competition. This is the first round of the round of 16 in its history, marking its second appearance in the final stage. Jan Oblak’s teammates qualified as the third best in Group C with three draws and great defensive solidity (he conceded two goals).
On the other hand, Portugal validated its ticket very quickly after two victories over the Czech Republic (2-1) and Turkey (3-0), before it was surprised by a match that did not matter to it against Georgia (2-0), during which Roberto Martinez won. Rotate.
But be careful, because Slovenia will bring back bad memories for the Seleção. The only direct confrontation between the two teams dates back to last March, with a surprising 2-0 victory for the 57th country in the world. Therefore, the surprise still remains, knowing that the match will determine the opponent in the quarter-finals from the winner of the France-Belgium match.
The UEFA Euro 2024 round of 16 match between Portugal and Slovenia will start on Monday at 9pm. The match will be followed on M6 and BeIN Sports 1, in addition to live commentary on leparisien.fr.
