Match facts

Poland

  • This will be Poland and Portugal's third encounter at a major tournament, their first in the European Championships. They have so far won one each: 1-0 to Poland at the 1986 World Cup and 4-0 to Portugal at the 2002 World Cup.
  • Poland are unbeaten in their last three head-to-heads with Portugal (W1 D2).
  • Poland have made it to the quarter-finals of the EURO for the first time in their history. The only previous time they reached the semis of a major tournament was in the 1982 World Cup.
  • Poland are in fact the lowest scoring side amongst those to have made it to the quarter-finals (3 goals in 4 games).
  • Poland have yet to trail at any point in a game at this year's European Championships. They've only conceded one goal so far in four games.
  • Robert Lewandowski scored in the 17th minute of his first game at the EURO (v Greece in 2012). Since then, he's failed to find the net or deliver an assist in the competition in 643 minutes.
  • Jakub Blaszczykowski has been directly involved in all five of Poland's goals in the last two EURO tournaments (3 goals, 2 assists).

Portugal

  • Portugal are the only team to have reached the quarter-finals of the European Championships in every tournament since 1996 (6 in a row). They have the chance to reach the semis for the fifth time in seven EURO participations.
  • Portugal have played the most games in the history of the European Championships without ever winning the tournament: 32 games, 0 trophy.
  • Portugal are unbeaten in their 11 competitive fixtures under Fernando Santos (W8, D3), all eight of their wins in that run being decided by a single goal (including extra time win against Croatia).
  • The last three goals conceded by Portugal at the EURO have all followed the same pattern: all have been scored from set-pieces and from outside the box.
  • Cristiano Ronaldo has played in more games than any other player in EURO finals (18). He's now only one goal short of Michel Platini's record of nine goals in the competition.
  • Ronaldo has only scored two goals in 12 knockout games at major tournaments (semi-final at EURO 2004; quarter-final at EURO 2012).
  • Ronaldo has now also attempted 40 direct free-kicks at major tournaments with Portugal but is yet to score with any of these efforts.

Predictions

Portugal are slight favourites in this fixture despite them falling short of expectations, they seem to lack team spirit but they have a lot of individual quality and talent in their team.

It will be hard to pick outright winners in this game, but you can expect another narrow win from the Portuguese side.

Final Score – 0 : 1

Both teams have not shown their full potential so far, so more than anything I'm counting on a good game.

Even handle Serie A? You need to be patient, man. Italy-Spain-Germany surprise each other aaalll the time. Cristiano Ronaldo is at his best in the last couple of years and this Euros is his final touch on a cup on a national level probably. Barça fans are -generally- smart enough to not confuse Ronaldo with Portugal. The former is great, the latter is average. Just to make it clear... (P.S. Quaresma is the best in the team right now.)

Lewandowski will continue to struggle to make an impact at the euros, but the other teammates will help Poland come out victorious. 2-1 to Poland after 90 mins.

This is maybe Poland's best side in their history, but expect Portugal to win with these class players in each position. Hope we face them in the semis to make one hell of a game.
