Rekindling the Euro 2016 final, Portugal and France prepare to clash this Saturday at the Volksparkstadion simmering for a spot in the semi-final of the 2024 edition.
It’s a crucible of champions, a clash of titans – Portugal versus France. While neither team has quite hit their free-flowing best yet, this high-stakes encounter offers the perfect platform to ignite their tournament and make a serious statement. Portugal has struggled in their last two matches with a goalless 120-minute game and an edge in a penalty showdown against 51 spots below Slovenian. Portugal needs to be at top of the mark to beat a star-studded side like France and Cristiano Ronaldo needs to step up to inspire his team. 
Meanwhile, France boasts a robust defense with three clean sheets in four games, they have navigated their way through the group stage with a sense of pragmatism rather than panache. Les Blues secured a solitary win over Austria in their group opener followed by two draws up until their end-moment win over Belgium in round of 16. It is a match to reverse the 2016 Euro final, With Mbappe fit and the solid defensive duo of Dayot Upamecanoand William Saliba on the mark, France are slightly ahead on a pedestal at the moment.

Portugal vs France Head-to-Head
With 28 clashes so far, France have had a dominant hand with 19 wins against Portugal. This would be the teams’ third straight meeting at a European Championship. Portugal may only have 6 wins against France in the kitty but their last win came in the Final of Euro 2016.
Portugal vs France Top Players Predictions
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
The all-time top-scorer and Portugal’s ageless captain has lot to prove after an underwhelming campaign so far. Although he has been unable to perform optimally, having yet to score a goal so far in this tournament, scoring against France would not only serve as a morale boost for the team but also add another laurel to his record as the oldest scorer ever. Despite approaching the twilight of his career, he continues to be a force for his team. Ronaldo knows how to perform in these crunch games and can inspire Portugal to a memorable victory against France.
Kylian Mbappe (France)
The FIFA World Cup 2022 golden Boot holder arrived with a lot of expectations in this Euro 2024. The 25-year-old is one of best players in the world at the moment but is yet to arrive in full form in Euro 2024. With 48 goals and 34 assists in just 82 international games, France’s dreams heavily depend on him. He has only scored one goal in a campaign which came against Poland in the 56th minute from a spot-kick. Mbappe suffered a facial injury recently and is back to full fitness and will look to announce himself against Portugal.
