expert forecast
Carlos Machado, game reporter: The teams will start the match in the lead of Group A2, but Portugal, at home, has everything to isolate themselves at the front. Cristiano Ronaldo shone in Sunday’s 4-0 against Switzerland, but the Czechs will certainly not give the same space that the Portuguese team had in that match, being a team that feels comfortable on the counterattack, a situation that they will want to explore in a game where you have nothing to lose.
What the coaches say
Jaroslav Šilhavý, Czech Republic: “Even in my wildest dreams I wouldn’t have imagined that we’d have points after two games. Tomáš says it all Souček said four sighted after the draw with Spain.
