EURO 2024 Prediction Today: France vs Belgium, Portugal vs Slovenia unlikely to explode
Báo Thanh niên•01/07/2024
Tonight, early tomorrow morning (July 2), there will be two exciting matches in the round of 16 at the EURO 2024 finals when France faces Belgium and Portugal plays Slovenia.
At 23:00, the match between France (ranked 2nd in the world) and Belgium (ranked 3rd in the world) in the round of 16 of EURO 2024 will take place, promising to bring fans a top match with many beautiful moves. However, the importance of the "life and death" match will easily make the "Rooster" France and the "Red Devils" Belgium cautious and difficult to explode with goals.

In the group stage, the French team achieved 5 points, ranked second in Group D after beating Austria 1-0, drawing the Netherlands 0-0, and drawing Poland 1-1. This was a performance that did not meet the expectations of French football fans because they wanted Mbappe and his teammates to play more "sublimely". The Belgian team also disappointed when they ranked second in Group E with 4 points after losing 0-1 to Slovakia in the opening match, winning Romania 2-0 in the next match but drawing with Ukraine in the final match.

However, with the level of the two leading football teams in the world, the French and Belgian teams promise to show their strength when entering the knockout round. The head-to-head record between the two teams is quite balanced when France won 2, drew 2, and lost 1 to Belgium in the last 5 encounters. This time, analysts continue to predict that the two teams will create a nerve-wracking match, with few goals. Predicted match result: France drew 1-1 with Belgium after regular time and extra time, then defeated their opponents in a nerve-wracking penalty shootout . At 2:00 a.m. on July 2, the match between the Portuguese team (ranked 6th in the world) and Slovenia (ranked 57th in the world) will take place. In the group stage, Ronaldo and his teammates unexpectedly lost the final match 0-2 to Georgia, but that was when they had already booked their ticket to the next round. Selecao is still highly rated at EURO 2024 this time through a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic and a 3-0 victory over Türkiye to top Group F. Meanwhile, Slovenia entered the round of 16 with 3 points but impressively drew all 3 matches in Group C against Denmark 1-1, Serbia 1-1 and England 0-0.
