Portugal vs France Team News

There is really no doubting Portugal’s quality. They are currently the best team in Europe, and have been so for the past couple of years. With the help of the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, A Selecao have clinched two pieces of silverware since 2016.

Having triumphed in the previous edition of the European Championship, Portugal went on to conquer the continent in the inaugural Nations League. Tearing it up in the competition, they were no match for any side, as they strolled to success.

Coincidentally, they came up against this weekend’s opposition France in that 2018 final, requiring a late Eder strike to propel them to European glory. Now, the Navigators have the responsibility of defending the Nations League title, and are already on the right path to achieving that.

From four fixtures, Fernando Santos’ charges have garnered 10 points, and will be looking to add to that tally with another positive result here. They were last seen in action on Wednesday, playing particularly well to dismantle Andorra 7-0 in a friendly clash.

With a number of key players rested for that game, Santos will have a fully-fit squad to choose from for this upcoming contest. Meanwhile, France aren’t letting their guard down, in a bid to beat this formidable Portugal side to first-spot on the log.

That said, they may be sporting same number of points as A Selecao in Group A3, but it is worth noting that France’s victories haven’t arrived on a platter of gold. Les Bleus have had to work their asses off to deliver favorable results. On matchday 4, they were up against Croatia.

After Vlasic cancelled out Griezmann’s early goal, French star Mbappe turned savior for his side with a well-struck effort in the 79^th minute to post a 2-1 win. Deschamps will be spurring his boys on to deliver a much better performance here, to stand a chance versus Portugal.

Portugal vs France Predictions

As football fans, these are the kind of games we live for. France capitulated at the hands of Finland last time out, ceding two goals against the minnows. Now, they will be desperate for a response, but will have their work cut-out to hurt Santos’ charges.

Boasting a forward line of Ronaldo, Fernandes and Bernardo Silva; Portugal will almost be impossible to stop. Though the reverse fixture between these two ended in a goalless draw, we expect to see a couple of goals in this one. Count on A Selecao to come out tops here.
