(The Bookie is Betfair)

Arena: Stade Genève

REF: Kyros Vassaras (GRE)

Preliminary line-up Portugal:

Ricardo

Bosingwa, Carvalho, Pepe, Ferreira

Petit, Moutinho, Deco, Ronaldo, Simão

Nuno Gomes

Portugal:

To start with I must say that Portugal had an impressive start vs Turkey.

Portugal played smart and created chances.

Ronaldo and Simão looked strong on the midfield and

even though Nuno Gomes didnt score. He had a few good chances, especially the when his header hit the bar.

Portugal is probably very confident after the win and it looks like Portugal has started playing more like a team more than a group of individual players.

Czech Republic:

Cech

Grygera, Ujfalusi, Rozehnal, Jankulovski

Galásek, Plasil, Polák, Sionko, Baros

Koller

The Czech players looked a little shooked up against Switzerland and they were lucky to get away with the win.

They played ineffectly and the striking was terrible.

One thing that I like about the Czech team is that when they score one goal they continue with the offensive playing instead of going on Full Defence like Portugal always does.

This could make it hard for the portugese and that's why I feel this might could be a draw.

Nevertheless the odds are good and Portugal should win this.

2-1 or 2-0.
