This afternoon sees two of the best players in the world go head to head: France's Kylian Mbappe and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, both quality attacking players who have struggled at Euro 2024.
Mbappe has only scored one goal in this year's tournament, a penalty against Poland, and France have only scored three goals in four matches in the tournament – two of which were ruled own goals, highlighting the team's attacking weaknesses.
France have barely scored a goal, but they have played some impressive defense to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. The team has only conceded one goal in the tournament and has kept a clean sheet in their three matches so far. With this in mind, we expect this afternoon's game to be a low-scoring one.
Portugal started the tournament well, winning their first two games 5-1 on aggregate, but the team has failed to score in their last two matches, a trend that includes a 2-0 loss to Georgia in the group stage and a narrow win over Slovenia in the round of 16.
The Portuguese team was forced to win on penalties after the match against Slovenia was tied at 0-0 after 120 minutes, which they ultimately won by beating Slovenia 3-0 in the shootout to advance to the quarterfinals.
Ronaldo has been one of the best players in the world throughout his career but has yet to score a goal in this year's tournament. He had a chance to score from a penalty kick in extra time against Slovenia, but the goalkeeper made an incredible save to deny Ronaldo his first goal of the tournament.
