Spain vs Portugal Prediction & Betting tips
One of the most famous test matches these days will take place on Friday evening in the stadium of the newly crowned Spanish champions, in the Wanda Metropolitano of Atletico Madrid. In front of over 20,000 spectators, Spain and Portugal face each other. According to the odds, the bookmakers see slight advantages with the home side, although the bottom line is that an exciting and high-quality match is expected.
Spain:
Between 2008 and 2012 the Spanish national team won three major tournaments. “La Roja” was crowned European champion twice and crowned the outstanding era under Luis Aragones and Vicente del Bosque with the 2010 World Cup. Since then, the Iberians have been quiet. In the following three tournaments in 2014, 2016 and 2018, two round of 16 were the maximum of emotions.
Before the start of EURO 2021, the Spanish prospects are once again difficult to assess. On the one hand, the technically so-versed southern Europeans must always be expected. On the other hand, the Spaniards’ squad at this EM is perhaps as weak as it has been in a long time. Not only the fact that various veterans like Sergio Ramos or Jesus Navas are not available or have not been nominated clearly shows that coach Luis Enrique has once again initiated a change and will rely on many youngsters.
Portugal :
For Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues, the mission to defend the title begins on June 15 against Hungary. There must be no slow feeling into the tournament, as two other top-class players are waiting in Group F with Germany and France. Consequently, it will be of enormous importance for coach Fernando Santos, who has formed an absolute top team out of the Portuguese, that many automatisms are rehearsed in the two upcoming preparatory games.
The fact that there are higher odds on the away success of the Seleção das Quinas in the duel Spain against Portugal comes as a surprise, as the world number five certainly has one of the best squads at the finals.
