Iceland hosts Portugal in Group J. Portugal, with Cronrado at the helm, is definitely a step above the rest, but both teams are known for their attacking spirit, and this will be Cron's 200th time to play for the national team, so he will surely want to score a goal. Iceland's new manager is also looking for a first goal, so both sides are expected to play an attacking game, with a high chance of a 1.5-goal half-time score. (Wednesday 2:45am kick-off)
Portugal has been coached by Spain's Martinez since the World Cup, and has won all three of its European matches, scoring 13 goals without conceding a single one, a dominating performance. The most important thing is that the 38-year-old veteran Cronardo in these three games as a regular, proving that the team is still focusing on him, this game coincides with Cron's historic 200th time for Portugal, a group of warriors in public and private will have to fight for the win.
Portugal's Goal hands are full of firepower
As a matter of fact, Portugal has a lot of goal scorers, such as Bono Fernandes, Benedicto Schwarz, Joao Felix, Rafael Rio, etc. They are all excellent in shooting, and there are a lot of new stars competing for the top position, which are full of energy and can carry out the style of play that can put pressure on the opponents at the early stage of the game. In Portugal's last 4 matches as visitors in Europe, 3 of them had a total of 2 goals or more at half-time.
Iceland has won 1 and lost 2 in the group stage, so there is not much chance for them to get out of the group stage. Their new coach Charlidi lost 1-2 to Slovakia in the first round of the tournament, so they will certainly want to win this game. Iceland has always been a fan of attacking style of happy soccer, no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, and this year they have beaten Liechtenstein by 7 goals on the road, and all 3 rounds of group matches this year have started with 2 goals or more in the first half, so the half-time score of 1.5 goals is worth to chase again.
