MATCH PREDICTION
As an international manager, Roberto Martinez has done quite well – despite the naysayers and negativity that does surround the former Wigan Athletic and Everton boss. Portugal enjoyed a 100% record in qualification but will have to find a better balance between defence and attack against stronger opposition. Czechia endured a difficult qualifying campaign, albeit automatically qualifying ahead of Poland with the management of Jaroslav Silhavy. Silhavy was forced out and replaced by Czechoslovakia’s 1990 FIFA World Cup captain Ivan Hasek. This has the potential to be very one-sided, though, and a comfortable Portuguese victory by more than a solitary goal is to be expected.
