Portugal vs France: Ronaldo and Mbappe to shoot on sight in 14/1 Bet Builder
Portugal take on France in a repeat of the Euro 2016 final as the duo look to secure a semi-final spot in the second of today's massive quarter-final ties at Euro 2024.
Portugal needed penalties to secure their spot at this stage, eventually overcoming Slovenia thanks to a heroic performance from Diogo Costa between the sticks. France, meanwhile, needed a late Jan Vertonghen own goal to get the better of Belgium and Les Bleus are still waiting to score their first goal from open play at the tournament.
Ahead of tonight's huge game in Hamburg, we've put together a bet builder using oddschecker's Bet Builder Comparison Tool picking out a tasty 14.42/1 selection. This is also available at 13/2 with some bookmarkers so it's worth checking out oddschecker's handy Bet Builder tool today!
Kylian Mbappe - Over 2.5 shots
Euro 2024 hasn't gone quite according to plan for Kylian Mbappe and France. Yes Les Bleus have navigated their way to the quarter-finals of the tournament but are yet to score from open play. Mbappe's only goal came from the penalty spot but he's routinely seeking to fire France to glory having averaged five shots per 90 in Germany. Up against the experienced Pepe tonight, the France captain should be presented with plenty of chances to fire Didier Deschamps' side to the semi-finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Over 1.5 shots on target
Like Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo is also firing off five shots per 90 at Euro 2024. Furthermore, the Portugal captain is managing 2.1 shots on target per 90 at the tournament. Having failed to score in Germany to date, Ronaldo will be desperate to net for the first time at Euro 2024, so the 39-year-old striker to have at least two shots on target is a sound addition to this bet builder.
Bruno Fernandes - Over 0.5 fouls
While Bruno Fernandes is renowned for his creative qualities, the Manchester United midfielder isn't afraid to ruffle opposition feathers. If frustrated, he may well lash out at opponents, particularly if things aren't going his way. He's committed at least one foul in his three Euro 2024 appearances, so Fernandes to commit at least one foul is a sound addition.
Under 2.5 goals
We're expecting a close enounter between these two European heavyweights this evening with games set to be relatively tight for the remaining matches at Euro 2024. Portugal have seen under 2.5 goals scored in their last two Euros outings, while that has been the case for all four France matches so far. That trend may just continue on Friday night.
