Storylines

Portugal: As things stand, equitable a draw will guarantee they finish as one of the four best third-place teams. Easier said than done against France, as they want to win the group. But a loss could put them in a slippery site. Let ‘s say France were to win 3-0. If that occurs and both Spain and Croatia win, which is realistic and expected, Portugal would be on the outside looking in. They ca n’t worry besides much about everything else going on though as they control their own destiny. It ‘s a replay of the Euro 2016 final examination … and hardly anybody gave Portugal much of a opportunity there. France: A succeed for France will guarantee them inaugural place in the group, meaning they would play a third-place team in the next round. A puff might not be enough though, as Germany are favored against Hungary and would win the group with a victory a long as France fail to win. As a result, do n’t expect a distribute of rotation of the reigning World Cup champs. But France are expecting a lot more results in attack. Through two Euro matches, they have scored just one goal on their own ( they besides got an own goal ), and the end fair has n’t been sharp. The squad produced 15 shots against Hungary last time out but had to settle for a 1-1 draw. possibly we see Olivier Giroud get a act more time here as Karim Benzema continues to get back into the flow of things after his unexpected restitution.
