In the Euro 2020, group F has inevitably earned the tag ‘Group of Death’ – which features traditional soccer heavyweights – Portugal, France, Germany and Hungary.

The Wednesday clash between Portugal and France will see one of them bow out – and its touted a difficult match.

Portugal suffered a 4-2 loss against Germany, but luckily comes into this meet without any injury concerns – so coach Fernando Santos is expected to keep his starting XI.

Portugal’s two own goals in the space of four first half minutes against Germany placed them third, so, a draw may still be enough to book a spot in the next round.

France have a few injuries to contend with, and former playmaker coach Deschamps is expected to make changes.

Ousmane Dembele will miss the Portugal showdown, after nasty knee injury after coming on as a sub against Hungary – which they limped home with a point after a draw.

France, fondly known as Les Blues, need only to avoid defeat to secure their place in the knockout stages of the competition.
