Portugal v Czech Republic Bet Builder Tips & Longshot

Euro 2016 champions Portugal begin their hunt for more European glory on Tuesday night when they face a Czech Republic side that nearly stole the top spot in their qualifying group, following a strong campaign.

This is an eighth consecutive appearance in the competition for both of these nations, which dates all the way back to 1996. Formally known as Czechoslovakia up until that 1996 appearance, the Czech Republic in fact finished runners-up in that tournament.

Portugal emerge as one of the leading contenders to take home the trophy on July 14th, and their star-studded squad certainly supports that motion.

Below, we’ve put together a bet builder at 2/1 and a massive longshot at 12/1 for Tuesday’s clash between Portugal and the Czech Republic.

🏆 Portugal to win

Portugal go into their opening fixture of Euro 2024 in fine form and we think they will come away from their clash with the Czech Republic with maximum points. The 2016 winners won each of their 10 qualifying matches and are fully expected to take top spot in Group F. There is an embarrassment of riches at Roberto Martinez’s disposal, whereas the Czechs are lacking in depth and star power. The Selecao swept the Czech Republic aside both home and away in the most recent edition of the Nations League and we should expect a similar outcome at the Red Bull Arena.

🛑 Tomas Soucek to commit 1+ fouls 🔄️

The Czech Republic have plenty of household names in their squad, including West Ham’s Tomas Soucek. The towering midfielder averaged 1.75 fouls per game during qualifying and he will have his work cut out when he faces star-studded Portugal on Tuesday night. Having also averaged 1.20 fouls per 90 during the most recent Premier League season, Soucek certainly isn’t afraid to do the dirty work when required, and he looks set to tackle his way into trouble at least once against what is a top-heavy Portugal team.

🩹 Rafael Leao to be fouled 2+ times

All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s opening match of the tournament but his teammate Rafeal Leao has the potential to steal the show. The AC Milan livewire has all the tools to be a major star and his blend of pace and skill is likely to cause the Czech Republic’s backline some real problems. While Leao was drawing an average of 1.00 fouls per-game during qualification for Portugal, he was earning AC Milan an average of 1.86 free kicks per 90 in Serie A this season.

⚽️ Cristiano Ronaldo to score anytime 🔄️

Cristiano Ronaldo is showing no signs of slowing down and he can mark his latest appearance at a major tournament by getting on the scoresheet against the Czech Republic. The Portuguese superstar holds the world record for international goals, 10 of which were scored during Euro 2024 qualifying, and he will be desperate to take centre-stage at the Red Bull Arena. Ronaldo won the Euro 2020 Golden Boot just three years ago and he can hit the ground running in his bid to land the award again by netting against the Lions in Leipzig.

🟨 Tomas Soucek to be shown a card 🔄️

Tomas Soucek is no stranger to getting on the wrong side of the referee and he looks a prime candidate to have his name taken against Portugal. While the Czech skipper collected just one card in eight appearances during Euro 2024 qualifying, his country won’t be mixing it with such a soft calibre of opposition this summer. The West Ham warrior was booked seven times in the Premier League this season and another card could be lying in wait when he comes up against one of the tournament's most potent attacks.

🎯 Bruno Fernandes to have 1+ shot on target 🔄️

Bruno Fernandes was one of the standout performers for Portugal during Euro 2024 qualifying, chipping in with six goals and seven assists across his 10 appearances. That impressive tally coincided with the Manchester United skipper averaging 1.20 shots on target per game. Expect Fernandes to lean on his impressive knack for testing the goalkeeper during this Group F clash.
