Portugal v Slovenia EURO 2024 preview
Portugal will have high hopes of advancing to the EURO 2024 quarter-finals when they face Slovenia on Monday night in Frankfurt.
The EURO 2016 champions booked their place in the last 16 after finishing top of Group F with six points, level on points with second-placed Turkey.
Roberto Martinez’s side began their campaign with a 2-1 win over Czech Republic before hammering Turkey 3-0 in their second match.
With their place in the knockouts already secured, Portugal fell to a surprise 2-0 defeat to Georgia in their final group match.
Meanwhile, Slovenia squeezed themselves into the last 16 as one of the best third-placed teams in the tournament.
Level on three points with second-placed Denmark, Matjaz Kek’s men finished two points behind Group C winners England.
The Slovenians drew 1-1 with Denmark and Serbia respectively before registering a goalless draw with England in their final group encounter.
As the rank outsiders in the round of 16, Slovenia would have to spring one of the greatest upsets in European Championship to book a quarter-final tie with either France or Belgium.

Portugal v Slovenia EURO 2024 predictions
Although they are not among the leading contenders, the top EURO 2024 betting sites have Portugal pegged at [rm_geo-odds val=8.5] to lift the trophy.
The Golden Boot winner at EURO 2020 with five goals, Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to score in Germany. Nevertheless, the 39-year-old has played a crucial role for Portugal and remains an instrumental part of the team, with online bookmakers offering -125 for Ronaldo in the anytime goalscorer market.
Despite losing 2-0 to Slovenia in an international friendly earlier this year, the Portuguese possess the talent and experience to perform when it counts the most. As such, expect Roberto Martinez’s side to dominate the encounter, with soccer betting sites paying +100 for Portugal to win both halves.
Slovenia are arguably the weakest team in the last 16. Expect Portugal to control this matchup, with Nags.bet offering -106.38 for the match to have under 2.5 goals.
