Belgium v Portugal Betting Tips [27 June 2021]

Well this is a match that no one should miss. Belgium won Group B but probably hoped for an easier match in the last sixteen than defending champions Portugal. If ever there was a match to place a bet on both teams to score, then this is the one. A 0-0 draw is most definitely not expected here. Belgium were one of only three countries to win each of their Euro 2020 group games. They are top of the FIFA world rankings but Belgium need to win a tournament to justify that lofty position. Their group saw them get wins against Russia, Denmark and Finland. Portugal must have wished they'd had such a comfortable group. Belgium have won their last four matches and only the Danes have been able to score against them in those matches. They continue to be a highly talented team but the worry is that they always seem to find a way to get knocked out of a tournament.

Only six countries scored more than Cristiano Ronaldo in the group stages, and one of those was Portugal! Despite all his efforts with five goals in three matches, Portugal came close to losing their European crown in the group stages. They led in all three of their matches but only beat Hungary, while losing to Germany and drawing with France. Both their goals against France came from the penalty spot. 17 goals have been scored in their last four matches, again a goalless draw is not expecting in this game. Three of their last four games against Belgium have been won, so they have no reason to be scared of their opponents. It's hard to split these two teams, there are so many matchwinners here. Bet on both teams to score and a side bet on a draw after 90 minutes could well be a winning one.
