Portugal were on the receiving end when Georgia shocked the footballing world and went against the pre-match EURO 2024 predictions with a 2-0 win in their last Group F match that saw them join the Portuguese in the knockout stages.
The result was a wake-up call for Roberto Martinez and the Portuguese side, and it will serve them well as they prepare for the round-of-16 clash against Slovenia.
Ahead of Monday’s clash, Portugal will look to steady their defensive structure and ensure that slipups like those against Georgia do not happen again in the last-16 one-on-one encounter with Slovenia.

| Key Players to Watch | Ruben Neves and João Palhinha |
| Team Strengths | Electrifying attack |
| Team Weaknesses | Vulnerable on the counter |
Slovenia qualified for the round-of-16 as one of the best third-placed sides in the UEFA EURO 2024 group stage. They finished with three points after three consecutive draws in Group C, holding England, Denmark, and Serbia to draws.
They have scored twice and conceded two goals in the three matches, highlighting their solidity ahead of their clash against Portugal.
Slovenia will likely continue their pragmatic approach against Portugal. They will prioritize solidity and compactness, stifle the Portuguese attack, and pose an attacking threat in transitions.

Portugal’s strength in this match will be their ability to control the midfield area. Neves and Palhinha lead our EURO 2024 tips to dominate midfield and set the tempo and rhythm of the match from the start.
Neves will be the creative force and will have the freedom to join the attack when they are in possession. Palhinha will screen the deep central midfield area, link up with the defensive players, and offer the defensive security for the side to attack.
Slovenia will rely heavily on Šeško in this match to provide the Midas touch and give them the goal threat they need. He will likely play alone up front; therefore, it will be up to him to hold up play, bring others into play, and offer the attacking threat in transitions.
Slovenia will retain the 4-4-2 formation that has served them throughout the group-stage matches. When in possession, the wide players join the attack and try to create overloads.
Without the ball, Slovenia will set up as two banks of four, making them difficult to penetrate, especially through the middle.
Portugal will be bold in their approach and play on the front foot. Roberto Martinez will retain the 3-4-2-1 formation his side has used recently. This will be geared to dominate the midfield and recycle the ball while pressing on the front foot to win it higher up the pitch.
With Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix, and Conceição, Portugal have one of the best attacking squads at this European Championship. Roberto Martinez will look for the right shape to optimize his attackers to do the most damage in the match.
Slovenia have shown a robust and stubborn nature. They are also likely to pose a threat on the counter. However, given their pedigree in the final third, Portugal will win the match and progress to the quarter-finals.
The Al Nassr striker has not got off the mark at the tournament. However, our EURO 2024 betting tips back the former Manchester United and Real Madrid ace to get his first goal and help Portugal to a win over Slovenia.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been a goalscorer his entire career; it is only a matter of time before he scores. The clash against Slovenia is finely poised for him to break his duck.
