In a much-anticipated showdown, Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal are set to battle Kylian Mbappe and France in a UEFA Euro 2024 quarterfinal match in Hamburg, Germany. Having stumbled in the 2020 tournament, Portugal aims to secure their second title in three competitions, while France is eyeing a return to the winners’ circle after a less than stellar 2020 campaign.

Following a resilient 3-0 victory in penalty kicks against Slovenia, Portugal is eager to advance to the semifinals for the sixth time. Similarly, France, who finished 11th in the previous edition, will be looking to secure their sixth semifinal appearance with a win over Portugal.

The upcoming clash at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany, will see France as the favored side at +135 on the 90-minute money line. Portugal, however, stands at +240, with a draw priced at +190. UEFA has set the over/under for total goals scored at 2.5, with France holding the edge at -150 to advance over Portugal at +120.

Leading the French charge is Kylian Mbappe, the dynamic forward who captains the side and has impressed with his goal-scoring prowess. Joining Mbappe is Antoine Griezmann, a seasoned veteran, who adds experience and attacking threat to the squad with his proficiency in front of the goal.

On the other side, Portugal boasts talents like Bernardo Silva, a midfielder who has showcased his scoring ability in the tournament. Not to be overlooked, the evergreen Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues to be a dominant force, will be key to Portugal’s chances against France.

The clash between France and Portugal promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams determined to secure a spot in the semifinals of Euro 2024. Fans can expect a display of skill, passion, and tenacity on the field as these two footballing giants go head-to-head for a chance at glory.
