Croatia vs. Portugal Prediction Euro 2016

  • One of the most important and interesting match in the 1/8 finals at Euro 2016 is the competition between Croatia and Portugal. This competition is announced to be an explosive one and also a very close match from the outset, both team have great players and a strong attack and it’s hard to choose a favourite in this competition.
  • Both teams are playing great this season at Euro 2016, but Croatia have shown a better shape than Portugal, the most impressive and unexpected result of them was the 2-1 victory over Spain, and their qualification in the 1/8 finals from the 1st place after two victories and a draw. Croatia have scored 5 goals in their last three matches played so far and they have one of the best attack in the championship, moreover they are undefeated in their last 10 matches in all competitions with 8 victories and two draws.
  • We believe that Croatia will be a very difficult opponent for Portugal and will cause them a lot of trouble, it is very possible for this match to end in a draw but we believe that Croatia have big chances to a victory. After their great match with Spain it is very possible that they will defeat also Portugal.
    For sure today Croatia will put pressure on their opponent from the outset and will play hard for the victory so we expect a very tough competition tonight.
  • The match against Spain was one of the most wonderful competition at Euro 2016 until now, also the result was a huge surprise for everybody and with that 2-1 victory over Spain, Croatia managed to avoid the meting with Italy which was in our opinion a much stronger opponent than Portugal.
  • Portugal comes after a spectacular match with Hungary, it was hard to believe that Hungary could score three goals in Portugal’s gate, but it happened last week.
  • Hungary is the biggest surprise at Euro 2016, after the 3-3 draw with Portugal the team managed to prove that Portugal have not such a strong defence as they though.
  • Portugal’s results this season at Euro 2016 were not so great, they achieved three draws in a row and only three points in Group F, they are going further in the 1/8 from the 3rd place, after the 1st ranked Hungary and the 2nd placed Iceland.
  • Portugal did not show a very good shape until now, but indeed they made a great match last Wednesday with Hungary.
  • Portugal need a victory tonight to recover their moral but the match against Croatia will be their biggest challenge for them until now at Euro 2016 and a victory will be very hard to obtain.
  • We expect today to see a much motivate and prepared Portugal, a team that have something to say in this tournament, also we need to see a strong attack and a better team work if they want to go further in the finals, otherwise Croatia will defeat them for sure.
  • Croatia and Portugal have met three times do far and all the last three matches were won by Portugal, the last match in a european competition was in ’96 when Portugal defeat Croatia 3-0. It will interesting to see if Croatia will take their revenge tonight.
