Portugal and Islândia face at Stade Geoffroy‑Guichard, in a match for this stage of the Campeonato Europeu (Fase de grupos). There is no recent record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams. The last head‑to‑head was played on 07‑10‑2011 and ended with the final score: Portugal (5‑3) Islândia.

Analysis Portugal

The team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this edition of the competition. They come to this match after a win against Estonia by (7‑0). Portugal has won 7, tied 0 and lost 3 of the last 10 matches.

Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

The Portuguese national team comes for this Euro 2016 after winning the 1st place in Group I, ahead of Albania and Denmark. The team led set by Fernando Santos is composed by several experienced players and at the same time enjoys very young players, but with great potential. Danilo Pereiro is one of the players that we highlight in this team: the midfielder of FC Porto is very important in the balance of the team and the offensive dead balls. Even so it’s possible to see that at times the national team of Quinas is predictable, once that their entire match passes by a single player, the forward Cristiano Ronaldo. Apparently the coach has in doubt the winger Ricardo Quaresma due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Rui Patrício, Raphaël Guerreiro, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho, Vieirinha, Danilo Pereira, João Mário, João Moutinho, André Gomes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani.
Coach: F. Fernandes da Costa Santos.
