Portugal vs Slovenia preview

Roberto Martinez and his new Golden Generation are strong favourites to defeat Slovenia and advance to the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, where they will face the winner of the France vs Belgium match.

Portugal began the tournament with two consecutive victories, securing the top spot in Group F. However, they suffered a surprising 2-0 loss to Georgia, which was statistically the biggest upset in Euros history.

The result was somewhat excusable as Martinez made significant changes to the lineup. But for the match against Slovenia tonight, Portugal will be at their strongest with the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva returning to the starting XI — both of whom scored in the 3-0 win against Turkey.

Portugal, the 2016 European Champions, are confident given their 51-place advantage over Slovenia in FIFA’s world rankings.

However, Slovenia handed Martinez his first defeat as Portugal manager in March. Slovenia can also take heart from remaining undefeated in the tournament, having drawn against Denmark, Serbia, and England in the group stages.

Managed by Matjaz Kek, Slovenia have not lost in 2024, with three wins and five draws from eight matches. Their last defeat was against Denmark in November 2023.

Portugal have always progressed from the group stage in all nine of their Euro campaigns. However, Cristiano Ronaldo is experiencing a goal drought, having failed to score in his last seven major tournament appearances for Portugal despite making 19 attempts. That’s his longest such run without a goal.

Portugal vs Slovenia betting tips

Saves!

Slovenia have done a pretty good job of defending their goal in this tournament with goalkeeper Jan Oblak having made an average of three saves in each fixture.

To put that in perspective, Georgia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili made 29 saves in his four encounters at Euro 2024.

But it could be a busy assignment for the Atletico Madrid superstar tonight against a Portugal side who’ve registered the third-highest number of shots at the tournament (54) having played a game less than Germany (71) and Spain (84).

Shots

And if we think that goalkeeper Jan Oblak will be busy tonight, chances are it’ll be Cristiano Ronaldo testing him.

The iconic Portugal forward, 39, fired off more efforts at goal than any player in the group stage at Euro 2024 (12) despite being withdrawn with 25 minutes remaining against Georgia.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner holds the honour of the most EURO finals appearances (25) and goals (14), and he’ll be desperate to add to that tally tonight against old foe Oblak.

The assister

Where there is goals, there is assists and that’s more often than not comes from the feet of Bruno Fernandes.

The Manchester United star, 29, provided 13 assists in a difficult campaign for the Red Devils and boasts 20 in 69 appearances at international level.

In fact, Bruno has NINE assists in his last 15 games for Portugal and seven key passes into the penalty area for his colleagues at Euro 2024.
