The Euro 2024 round of 16 programme continues, with Portugal-Slovenia between the two matches scheduled today. On the one hand the Portuguese, who ended the group badly with a defeat against Georgia but who can have their say all the way. On the other, the Slovenians, among the surprises of the event, having qualified for the direct elimination phase despite having faced a tricky grouping with England, Denmark and Serbia. Appointment at 9.00 pm Deutsche Bank Park of Frankfurt, Mr. Daniele Orsato directs the challenge.
HOW PORTUGAL ARRIVES – Martinez should line up his team with 3-5-2, placing a defensive line made up of Dias, Pepe and Nuno Mendes in front of Diogo Costa. In the middle of the pitch the quality of Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandez and Vitinha, while on the outside Dalot and Cancelo. Up front, room for the Ronaldo-Leao tandem.
HOW TO GET TO SLOVENIA – Kek responds with the 4-4-2, with which he has curbed England and therefore deserves continuity. In front of Oblak, a back four with Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol and Balkovec. The outside lanes are entrusted to Stojanovic and Mlakar, in a midfield completed in the middle by Elsnik and Cerin. In attack Sporar and one of the prized pieces of the market, namely Sesko.
