Key insights suggest Portugal's attacking prowess may see them through, albeit with a possible Slovenia goal in response.

Portugal won all ten European Championship qualifiers, nine victories coming with clean sheets. The only time they were breached came in a 3-2 victory against Slovakia.
The Selecão played twice in March, a 5-2 win against Sweden and 2-0 defeat in Slovenia. They recently played three friendlies, beating Finland 4-2 followed by a 2-1 defeat to Croatia and comfortable 3-0 victory over Republic of Ireland.
Roberto Martinez’s side left it late to beat Czech Republic in their opening match at Euro 2024, Francisco Conceição coming off the bench to score in added time. They were too good for Turkey, winning 3-0 to take top spot in Group F.
Martinez made eight changes to the starting side against Georgia and it showed, losing 2-0 despite having 72% possession.
