The one-nil defeat in the match played in Denmark leaves everything open. And Portugal, in this match, has the quality to be able to turn around what happened on Thursday night.
Yes, despite the defeat and despite Eriksen also missing a penalty that could have opened the game up much earlier, Portugal managed to stay on their feet, clinging on to the game, and showing that they have what it takes – the numbers of the game speak for themselves – to turn it around. Of course, they would also need a different Cristiano Ronaldo, one of those players capable of turning a match around. Something we saw very little of the other night. So let’s say they need a different Portugal, especially up front, where the difference is made.
Denmark is certainly a tough team, but the support of the Portuguese fans – remember that whoever wins will face either Italy or Germany in the final four – could make the difference. And yes, Portugal could come back in this match. And maybe even take it to extra time. But to go through to the next round we are convinced of one thing.

The prediction
A match with at least one goal per team, a match that could certainly give victory to the Portuguese team. So, a match with at least three goals overall. And keep an eye, as usual, on Cristiano Ronaldo, who was overshadowed last Thursday, and who will have every intention of making up for it in front of his fans.
