Portugal 1-1 Poland (Lucky Portugal makes it to semifinals after another penalties win)

Match Preview: Portugal drew their beginning three group video games and bare skilled as among the finest third place clubs while a overdue more time goal by Quaresma observed them see through Croatia in circular of 16. Poland on the other palm has emerged among the dark horses in your competition having finished joggers up in group C behind Germany only by goal difference while they defeated Switzerland on fines in the first knockout circular.

Poland area well drilled product with a extraordinary work rate and small protection. Although their superstar striker Robert Lewandowski is yet to rating in your competition they have got goals in midfield. Ronaldo and company should be at their finest to see through Poland in what assures to be another cracker of a casino game. If Portugal can put things right and build on the shows they have a good potential for achieving the finals

Ronaldo can break Michel Platini’s goal scoring record in European Championship with two more goals.

Both camps are in good shape going into the quarterfinal tie and no fresh injury concerns for either side. Poland is likely to keep Lukasz Fabianski in the goal as former Arsenal keeper Szczesny lacks match fitness having recovered from thigh injury. Jakub Blaszczykowsk has been involved in all of Poland’s goal in the tourmament so far scoring two and creating the other. Bartosz Kapustk is also available after sitting out in the last game with suspension.
As far as Portugal is concerned they have a fully fit squad and Fernando Santos will have some selection headech as both Renato Sanches and Ricardo Quaresma came on as substitute to make major impact against Croatia.

This will be the third time these two are meeting at the major tournament. Both has won game a piece in their previous encounters in World Cups. Since Fernando Santos took over as Portugal coach they are unbeaten in 11 competitive fixtures having but they have made a habit of winning games 1-0 as all 8 recent wins came with this scoreline. Ronaldo already became the player with most appearences in European Championship and he can become leading top scorer in tournament history with 1 more goal beating Platini’s record of 9.
Match Predictions: Interestingly Poland are slightly favourite going into the match but you can never count out a team with Ronaldo in their ranks. They have not played the best football so far and got this far with alot of luck but if we go with the law of average they are due a good performance. It might just be this Thursday night and I can see Ronaldo getting that odd goal with Portugal advancing to semifinals with a narrow win.
