Famous Ukrainian coach Serhiy Kovalets told us what he expects from the Euro 2024 quarterfinal matches Spain vs. Germany and Portugal vs. France.
- Needless to say, the Spain vs. Germany match could be a great final. The Spanish team looks the best of all the teams at the European Championships. Fans are expecting a good match, because Germany is a very serious opponent. Both teams have a lot of top-level stars, so we expect an interesting spectacle. I think Spain will win with a score of 2-1.
As for the Portugal vs France match, I'll say this. This continental championship is different in that many teams play for the result, in a kind of closed mode - in terms of playing from the defense. They are afraid to take risks. This is one of those championships that has few exciting matches. Even the favorites, such as England, Portugal, and France, don't score a lot.
So given this fact, the favorite in this meeting in terms of play and stability is the French. Didier Deschamps knows his team well, and he will take into account all the factors in the confrontation with the Portuguese. I hope that we will see great football in this match as well. In my opinion, France will win 1-0," Kovalets said.
