The Selecao topped their group with six points whilst Slovenia are playing in their first-ever knockout game at a major tournament. They drew all three of their group matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-portugal-form\"><span class=\"green\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Portugal\u00a0Form<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After their shock quarter-final exit at the 2022 World Cup to Morocco, Portugal won all 10 of their Euro qualifiers with 36 goals scored and just two conceded. They lost two of their four friendlies before the tournament, losing 2-0 to the next opponent Slovenia, and 2-1 at home to Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their Euros began with a very late 2-1 win over the Czech Republic as they had 19 shots and 73% possession. A resounding 3-0 win over Turkiye sealed a spot in the knockout stages. With a heavily-changed XI, they were beaten 2-0 by Georgia despite having 2.04 xG and 24 shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/euro-2024\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\">Bet Now: EURO 2024<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-portugal-team-news\"><span class=\"green\"><strong><strong><strong>Portugal\u00a0Team News<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Roberto Martinez must decide between a back three and a back four formations. Pepe and Ruben Dias will return in defence after rests and both Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes also had full breather&#8217;s vs Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo is set to lead the line despite a bit of a scoring drought. Pedro Neto and Rafael Leao are fighting for the left-winger role. At right back, it\u2019s Joao Cancelo or Diogo Dalot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-portugal-motivation\"><span class=\"green\"><strong><strong><strong>Portugal\u00a0Motivation<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Martinez likes a possession-heavily style of play.

They fought from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Denmark before a late goal leaked leading to a 1-1 draw vs Serbia. Their final match saw a solid 0-0 draw with England as they only\u00a0allowed one \u201cbig chance\u201d to the Three Lions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They reached the Euros by winning seven of their matches in qualifying. Their five friendlies leading up to the tournament saw two wins and three draws. A fine 2-0 win over Portugal preceded a 2-1-win vs Armenia and a 1-1 draw against Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slovenia-team-news\"><span class=\"green\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Slovenia\u00a0Team News<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Matjaz Kek will stick with his usual XI in a disciplined 4-4-2 shape. Andraz Sporar and Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig will form the front two despite not scoring yet in the Euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veteran forward Josip Ilicic will\u00a0be an impact substitute whilst Jan Oblak is crucial in goal.
