It’s the 10th of July 2016 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France and one of the biggest moments in sports history as we’re watching the final of the UEFA Euro 2016. The hosts France were clear favourites and they were well on track to win the tournament too, until they were shocked and stopped in their tracks by Portugal in the final, the latter winning 1-0 after extra time!
4 years later, it’s not the same squads but unsurprisingly, the 36-year old talismanic Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is still leading their chances, after having first done that way back in Euro 2004. With 100+ goals for Juventus, Ronaldo will for the first time, not be their only chance of scoring goals as they have Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva and Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes too.
With 18 goals and 12 assists in the 2020/21 Premier League, Bruno is someone who has risen to fame in England and he’ll be leading the attack for Portugal in this major tournament. If you’re keen on UEFA Euro 2020 betting, please consider Bruno in your top goal-scorers bets because he is likely to also be their designated penalty kick taker!

Let’s not forget that they have Rui Patricio in the goal which means that it’s not just the attacking front which is strong but the back half is also going to be pretty solid. Patricio is the goal-keeper for Wolves in the Premier League while they also have star defender Rúben Dias who represents Manchester City and the 24-year old won’t be backing down when he stands up against some quality opponents.
Head Coach Fernando Santos has a team which is #5 in the world rankings and Portugal is coming into the Euro 2020 as a much stronger team than they were in the 2016 tournament. The only team to have won consecutive European Championships is Spain (2008 and 2012) and now, Portugal will aim to become the second ever to do the same.
