Igor Tsyganik: "I see the French national team as the main favorite to win Euro 2024"

Famous commentator Igor Tsyganik has made a prediction for the Euro 2024 quarterfinal match between Portugal and France.

"As I said before the start of Euro 2024, I see the French national team as the main favorite to win the tournament. I still hold this opinion, although Les Bleus have not performed particularly well so far in the tournament.

France is gradually gaining ground in the playoffs, they are gaining momentum in the decisive knockout matches, and they are extremely cautious in defense. This should work against Portugal, in my opinion.

Everyone really wants Ronaldo and Pepe to score, two legendary and age-old players in the Seleção squad. But Portugal was frankly lucky with Slovenia, and it will be even more difficult against France after 120 minutes + a penalty shootout.

I believe in France's progression. I will bet on France to win, their individual total is over 1.5. And I'll take a chance on a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, for whom this Euro should be the last in his career," said Tsyganik.
