Euro 2008 Preview: Czech Republic - Portugal

Published by chickentalk at 7:06 pm under Euro 2008 Match Prediction, Sports

Last eight place up for grabs in Crezh-Portugal Clash, winner will take it all.

Both sides won on the opening day - but Czech were so lucky to get the goal they did against Swiss. Only 4 shots from the Czechs throughout the 90 minutes, and they managed to hit the target on only 2 occasions. On 1 of those occasions, they scored. Frankly speaking, the Swiss should be the winner at the opening match as they dominated the match in term of ball possession, shot on target and corner taken. Tonight, Portugal will most definitely be looking to go all out and secure qualification so that in their final game against co-hosts Switzerland they may focus simply on finishing top of the group and perhaps affording one or two key men a rest. The Czechs on the other hand is going to satisfied with a draw against Portugal. Missing the key player such as Pavel Nedved and Tomas Rosicky make the Czech midfield lack of the creativity they should have.

No injuries reported from both camp. But definitely the Czech coach will make some changes in tonight line up; he is satisfied with the team defence but unsatisfied with the team upfront.

Probable Starting Line up for Czech Republic

Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Cech - Grygera, Ujfalusi, Rozehnal, Jankulovski - Sionko, Matejovsky, Galasek, Kovac, Plasil -Koller

Probable Starting Line up for Portugal

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Ricardo - Bosingwa, Pepe, Carvalho, Ferreira - Moutinho, Petit, Deco - Quaresma, Nuno Gomes, Ronaldo

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Ronaldo.

Why only Ronaldo?? Simple, as he hasn’t score yet? It is a bit weird for me……

My Prediction

The complete team of Portugal can finish the Czech tonight. Portugal 2-1 Czech. I will not watch the match between the 2 tonight as i want to take some good night sleep. All the best to Portugal Supporter. Cheers.
