Portugal is one of the teams that has already secured a ticket to Euro 2024 after only the first two matches of the group stage. They are even sure to top the group.

The defeat in the last match against Georgia was a complete accident, a game in which Portugal were both out of motivation and had to field a reserve team.

This time, having entered the round of 16, coach Roberto Martinez will no longer be complacent. Portugal's problem at the moment is the form of star Cristiano Ronaldo. It has been a long time since he has scored in the group stage of a Euro.

Surely he wants to shine against an opponent that is rated weaker.

Slovenia’s only confidence lies in their head-to-head record. Interestingly, the two teams have only faced each other once, in a friendly in March this year. Slovenia won 2-0.

The bookie rates Portugal quite highly when offering a handicap of 1 1/4 (1.25) and over/under of 2 1/2 (2.5) goals.

Opta rates Portugal's chance of winning at 65.4%, while Slovenia's is only 14.5%.

Most experts believe that Roberto Martinez's team will win by at least 2 goals. Sportmole and Whoscored both predict a 2-0 score in favor of Portugal. This is also the most likely score (11.13%).

Meanwhile, Sportkeeda predicts a 2-1 score. However, this possibility only has a 9.86% chance of happening.

Expert's choice: Choose Portugal to win 1 1/4 goals, the match will have 2 goals or more.

Prediction: Portugal win 2-0.
