Euros have been unbelievably competitive as several heavyweight teams, including England and France, have failed to dominate. However, the Spanish side has been the first-hand dominators alongside the stunning Portugal side, who have won both games played yet.

Spain is the only team in the group stage so far who have won on all 3 occasions, and the team that stands a second chance is the Portuguese side. Roberto Martinez has led his team to comfortable wins in both the outings against Czech Republic and Turkey.

Portugal will play their final game against Georgia tonight and will look to win the group with a standout clean sweep over groupmates Czech, Turkey, and debutants Georgia. Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and the veteran forward Cristiano Ronaldo once again step onto the field in the hunt for the third consecutive win in the Euro 2024.

Georgia will be taking on favorites Portugal at Gelsenkirchen, hoping to take their chances to continue their almost slipped-away Euro campaign. On the other hand, a confident Ronaldo and co. will be looking to carry semblance into the Round of 16, where there might once again be chances of meeting Belgium, the team that got them out of contention in the previous edition.

An unbeaten streak would help Martinez’s boys have their heads held high when they play their first knockout game against another European giant. With Georgia not being the topmost side under contention, Portugal does stand a fair chance to enter the Round of 16 with 3 wins on 3 occasions.
