Portugal

Portugal continue their preparations for their first major international tournament under Roberto Martinez. It was he who took charge of the national team after the defeat of the Red-Greens in the quarter-final of the World Cup-2022 against Morocco - 0:1. The Portuguese have performed at a phenomenally high level in qualifying for Euro 2024. They won all ten qualifying games with a total goal difference of 36:2. An impressive result! Moreover, they also started 2024 with a bright and convincing 5:2 victory over the Swedes, but then Roberto Martinez suffered his first defeat in his new job, failing to cope with the Slovenians - 0:2.

Finland

The Finnish national team is a rare participant in major international competitions. To be more precise, the Blue and Whites have only once successfully made it through the qualification tournament when they played at Euro 2020, but failed to make the play-offs. Qualifying for Euro 2024 did not lead to the desired outcome either. The Finns got off to a great start in Germany, winning four of their opening five games, but then had a fatal streak of three straight losses. They also won the last two rounds, but that was only good enough for third place in Group H. There was a chance for Markku Kanerva's team to make it through the UEFA Nations League, but they lost to the Welsh 1:4 in the semi-final. In 2024, they had only one friendly game against the Estonians - 2:1.

Expert Betting Tips

The Portuguese national team approaches Euro 2024 as one of the main favourites for the tournament. All recent major tournaments the Red-Greens have played very well, and in qualifying for the European Championship they won all ten games with a total score of 36:2. Eloquent! At home, the Portuguese winning streak has already reached seven matches, but they are clearly not going to stop there. The nearest rival is the modest Finnish national team, which again flew past the continental championship, and therefore has to wait for a new qualifying cycle. In Lisbon, the White and Blue will have an extremely difficult time.
