Portugal having seen their lengthy streak of success halted in the group stage, now seek to reaffirm their status as contenders for Euro 2024 glory as they prepare to face Slovenia.

Match Stats

Despite clinching the top spot in Group F with a match to spare, Portugal suffered a surprising setback in their final group game against underdogs Georgia. The defeat, marked by defensive lapses from Antonio Silva and an early spectacular goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, marred an otherwise solid group stage performance.

Despite this setback, Portugal's track record shows resilience, having not lost back-to-back competitive matches since Euro 2008. They enter the knockout phase with confidence, having displayed strong defensive stats and controlling play throughout the group stage, second only to Germany in possession and defensive metrics.

Meanwhile, Slovenia, making their debut in the knockout stage of a major tournament, secured passage with a strategic goalless draw against England in their final Group C match. This extended their unbeaten run to nine matches, underscoring their solid defensive capabilities and ability to compete against stronger opponents.

Facing off against Portugal for only the second time in history, Slovenia, despite their lower possession averages, have proven they can grind out results, drawing with Denmark and Serbia earlier in the tournament. With captain Jan Oblak anchoring their defense and young talent Benjamin Sesko leading the attack, Slovenia poses a credible challenge to Portugal's aspirations in Euro 2024.


Prediction: Portugal 2-0 Slovenia
