Portugal vs Czechia Prediction & Picks - Euro
by Edgar Jibran | in Euro Picks
EURO 2024 is only going to offer a pair of matches during next Tuesday, June 18th schedule, both belonging to the Group F and being clear that Portugal’s debut is one of the most awaited by world football fans, as it will most likely be the last participation of Cristiano Ronaldo on this prestigious tournament, however it’s a fact that Czech Republic will be a very tough opponent.
In this regard, it must be considered that the EURO is a very fast tournament, so none of these teams should admit a defeat on their debut, but it’s a fact that Czech Republic doesn’t have a national team as strong as in the last two decades, not being surprising that the bookmakers’ odds are taking Portugal as the big favorite to win this confrontation.

Portugal - Czechia: Form Analysis
When looking at both teams’ performance, it must be noted that Portugal was one of the teams with more preparation matches in which they played against Finland, Croatia and Ireland, European national teams that are competitive, but they must work harder to increase their competitiveness as they lost against Croatia (1-2). Even so, it’s very positive for them that only 2 of their 8 scored goals in their preparation matches were scored by Ronaldo, so they aren’t totally depending on him anymore.
Meanwhile, Czech Republic has a streak of 5 victories in a row and 7 matches in a row without losing, nonetheless, their preparation matches were disputed against very weak teams like North Macedonia and Malta, so they shouldn’t be overconfident of scoring many goals as they did against those opponents. In addition, it must be remembered that they couldn’t won any of their Qualifiers matches against Albania due to a poor offensive, so it is no wonder that Czech Republic could be considered as one of the worst offensives in Europe.

Portugal & Czechia Squad Analysis
Also, there’s a big difference between both squads as Portugal has a big number of stars like Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix and Rafael Leao, all of them offensive player that are currently having an exponentially better performance than the one they had when Fernando Santos was the head coach of the team, as Roberto Martinez has more offensive tactics.
Meanwhile, the transition that Czech Republic is crossing is one of the hardest during the most recent years as their base only has one player on a top team like Bayer Leverkusen like Adam Hlozek, but he hasn’t been able to remark in the way he did at Sparta Praha, where he scored 42 goals in 4 seasons. For the rest, most of the defensives and midfielders are currently playing on Sparta and Slavia Praha, so the experience they’re going to gain in this tournament is expected to impulse their careers.

Our Portugal vs Czechia Prediction
To conclude, this match will be the cherry on top for the round 1 of the group stage, and even when Portugal is the clear favorite to win due to great quality they have on each one of their lines, they shouldn’t expect to win it by a big margin, as Czech Republic will put a strong defensive line, so the pick for Portugal – Czech Republic is: Both Teams To Score - No!
