Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Portugal scored 36 times in their qualifying campaign last year and they’ve hit nine goals in their first two home matches of 2024. However, the Portuguese have conceded twice in those last two home matches, while Croatia have scored in five of their last six games. The last three meetings between these two have seen both teams score and more goals should be on the cards.

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

Croatia are unbeaten in five matches and Portugal have suffered one defeat in 13 under Roberto Martinez. While both sides can get forward and find the net, as the game progresses expect the pair to ease off ahead of their tournament opener, making a 1-1 draw the standout correct score selection.

Two Euro contenders clash

Portugal are among our picks to win Euro 2024, but Croatia are a side to fear this summer after their run to the semi-finals of the last World Cup. These two sides have plenty of quality players and this encounter is probably the pick of the tournament warm-up clashes.

Portugal were 4-2 winners over Finland earlier this week and they meet a Croatia side who beat North Macedonia 3-0. Portugal scored 36 times in their qualifying campaign and that high-scoring form has continued with 5-2 and 4-2 home victories in 2024, but that should open the door to Croatia going forward.

The visitors have scored in five of their last six internationals and despite their possession-heavy approach they can get forward and hurt Portugal. These two sides met in the Nations League in 2020 and 10 goals were split across their two encounters, while each of their previous three meetings have seen both teams score.
