In its round of 16 game against Georgia, Spain has once again shown what it is capable of. Despite conceding a goal to the brave Georgians, the Spanish came from behind. They didn’t even look back and made it 4-1 by the time that the referee blew the final whistle, making it the biggest margin in a comeback victory in EURO history. Once more, Williams proved instrumental in securing another Spanish victory. He’s starting the outshine his teammate Yamal, even.
Of course, the youngest player in the tournament still has a chance at breaking the record for youngest goal scorer ever at the European Championship. This next game could very well be the one in which he finally does so. Spain is on a winning streak, and is even in second place, historically, when it comes to most EURO matches won (24). Someone has to be first, though.
Indeed, that record belongs to Germany. Since the inception of the tournament, the Germans have won a whopping 30 of their games. Head to head, Germany has one more victory (9 versus 8, with 9 draws). Germany’s own young star Musiala is on a roll of his own: he’s currently tied for top scorer in the tournament, with 3 goals so far. His competitors for the prize have been eliminated, so he’ll be extra motivated to keep his record going.
The two finest teams of this Euro meet in what promises to be a tense quarterfinal from start to finish, with the two teams likely to observe each other for half an hour before the hostilities begin. This will most likely become a tight match from start to finish, lasting well over 90 minutes. Overtime is likely, and at 3.00, it’s a value bet, too.
Portugal may have won its round of 16 game against Slovenia, but it was far from the walkover some may have expected beforehand. In an entertaining game, the Slovenes kept the Portuguese as busy as vice versa. It led to the first penalty shootout of the tournament, after overtime didn’t provide a winner either. In that shootout, Porto goalie Costa was the clear hero: he stopped no less than 3 penalty kicks. All of Portugal’s went in, including one by Ronaldo.
The Portuguese star and all-time world record holder for international goals hasn’t made a field goal so far, though. It should be high on his to-do list, knowing his relentless drive. Leaving the tournament without a goal would feel like failure to him. He has at least another 90 minutes in Portugal’s upcoming quarterfinal game. Can he make his 131st international goal here?
That will depend on France, of course. In the round of 16 game against Belgium, France’s goalkeeper Maignan kept his country in the game with a split-second reflex. An own goal 85 minutes into the game made it 1-0, and France was content defending that narrow lead. Man of the match Koundé was always a hazard to the defence, and Kanté, too, was once more one of the best men on the pitch. They’ll need to give it their all if they want to see the next round…
France hasn't been very impressive in this Euro, and neither has Portugal. Both have given themselves a fright on a number of occasions. This will be a tense encounter, with lots of tactical approaches but few real chances, and a disappointing final result given the stakes. France to win 0-1 could be worth a try, at odds of 6.33.
