Portugal, led by Roberto Martinez, dramatically overcame Slovenia on penalties to advance. Despite Ronaldo’s efforts, including a saved penalty in extra time, it was goalkeeper Diogo Costa who emerged as the hero, saving three penalties in the shootout to secure their place in the quarterfinals.
France, on the other hand, edged past Belgium with a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to a deflected goal by Randal Kolo Muani. Didier Deschamps’ men have struggled to score from open play but have showcased a solid defense, conceding only once in four matches.
Both teams have shown resilience and determination, setting the stage for a captivating encounter. While Ronaldo vs. Mbappe will be the headline battle, the match’s outcome could hinge on key moments from less celebrated players. Fans can expect an intense and closely fought game as these football giants vie for a spot in the semifinals.

Portugal vs. France lineups & team news
Ahead of the Euro 2024 quarterfinal against France, Portugal’s manager Roberto Martinez and the team’s physios will be monitoring the players who played 120 minutes against Slovenia.
Fortunately, there are no serious fitness concerns for the 2016 champions. As a result, Martinez is expected to field an unchanged starting XI. Cristiano Ronaldo, seeking his first goal (in regulation time) of the tournament after 20 attempts, is set to earn his 212th cap.
Diogo Jota and Francisco Conceicao are potential substitutes, while Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao are secure in the attack. Midfielders Vitinha and Joao Palhinha are also expected to retain their places.
Portugal projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Costa (GK) — Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes — Palhinha, Vitinha — Silva, Fernandes, Leao — Ronaldo.
France, however, will be forced to make at least one change. Adrien Rabiot is suspended after receiving his second yellow card in the win over Belgium.
Didier Deschamps has options to replace Rabiot, including Ousmane Dembele, Eduardo Camavinga, Youssouf Fofana, or Warren Zaire-Emery. Additionally, Kingsley Coman might miss the match due to the birth of his child. Rabiot’s absence could see Marcus Thuram make way for Randal Kolo Muani.
France projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Maignan (GK) — Kounde, Saliba, Upamecano, Hernandez — Kante, Tchouameni — Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe — Kolo Muani.
Portugal vs. France prediction
Score prediction: Portugal 0-1 France
A Portugal side scoreless in their last two matches faces a French team that has conceded just one goal in their previous six games. This matchup suggests more offensive struggles for the Selecao, despite their strong defense likely holding firm against an equally cautious French attack.
