Portugal

The Portuguese national team lost to France the first line in the League of Nations, but at the same time gave a fight. At Euro 2020 teams were again in the same group. Fernando Santos' team definitely had plans to reach the playoffs, at least from the third line, while the overall situation remains under control. A 3:0 victory over Hungary in the first round helped the Portuguese take a step towards the playoffs.

A point in a duel with Germany would have guaranteed the “team of the elite” a place in the playoffs. The start of the fight turned out to be more than successful for Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring. However, even in the first half the Germans responded with two goals and in the second half they scored two more. The 2:4 defeat as a whole did not become a grandiose tragedy, but in certain hands the Portuguese could fly past the playoffs.

France

The French national team did not slow down after winning the World Cup. Didier Deschamps' team won the Nations League, successfully started qualifying for the World Cup. The start of Euro 2020 was also very solid for the “tricolors”. The French gained three points in a duel with Germany thanks to an own goal by Mats Hummels. Three points practically guaranteed France a place in the playoffs, given that there was a match with Hungary ahead.

In a meeting with the Hungarians, who had been defeated by Portugal a few days earlier, France was the undisputed favorite and many were waiting for their confident victory. However, the plot turned out to be very unpredictable. Hungary opened the scoring and, in general, played very bravely against the world champions. As a result, the French pulled out a 1:1 draw and did not particularly try to force events, being satisfied with one point. So, what is the free soccer predictions for today?

Prediction

The Portuguese national team had a weak duel with Germany. It hardly makes sense to talk about the total superiority of the Germans in that meeting. The game was almost equal, but almost the same three goals conceded indicate the problems of the Portuguese in defense. France has a powerful attack, almost the strongest on the continent and is unlikely to be left without a goal, but at the same time, motivated Portugal will definitely not leave such actions unanswered.

We believe that the match will be productive. Prediction is for a total over two goals. Such an outcome in bookmaker 1xBet is offered with odds of 1.75.

France plays very pragmatically in the group. Even in a duel with Hungary, inferior in class, the French did not risk and squeeze the opponent, limiting themselves to minimal production. Considering that the "tricolor" teams have already guaranteed the playoffs, the approach will hardly change much. A draw suits both one and the other team, the likelihood of such a result is very high.

Our second bet will be a draw. This bet can be placed for 2.98.

For fans of large odds, we suggest you bet on the exact score 1:1 in this meeting. Such an outcome in the line 1xBet can be found with odds of 5.35.
