The Group F clash will pit two familiar opponents against each other, with Portugal and the Czech Republic meeting in the Uefa Nations League as recently as 2022.
Portugal have dominated the head-to-head stakes, winning both Nations League clashes two years ago by a 6-0 combined scoreline, while they’ve enjoyed four straight victories over the Czech Republic since losing their first-ever meeting at Euro 96.
Roberto Martinez’s men are the heavy favourites to take all three points, but they have lost two of their last four matches heading into Euro 2024. The Czech Republic, meanwhile, have lost just one of their last 14 matches and are enjoying a five-game winning streak.
Roberto Martinez has plenty of decisions to make throughout his team, with battles over key positions like central midfield, centre-back and on the wingers. However, that’s a good problem to have, especially with his squad seemingly at full fitness.
As for the Czech Republic, midfielder Michal Sadilek is sidelined after injuring himself on a bike ride but appears to be the only absentee.
