One of the favorites for this summer's European Championship, Portugal will open their Euro 2024 campaign against the Czech Republic at Leipzig Stadium on Tuesday evening. Portugal is being tipped as a strong contender for the trophy in Germany, while the Czech Republic aims to progress from a challenging section that also includes Turkey and Georgia.

Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez has several selection dilemmas due to the depth of his squad. Cristiano Ronaldo, at 39, is expected to lead the line, aiming to add to his 130 international goals and make history by appearing in his sixth European Championship. Veteran defender Pepe, at 41, is also likely to start, potentially becoming the oldest player in the tournament's history. The attack is likely to feature Rafael Leao and Bernardo Silva alongside Ronaldo, with Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, and Joao Palhinha forming the midfield trio.

Czech Republic will be without midfielder Michal Sadilek, who withdrew from the squad due to an injury. Key players such as West Ham United duo Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek are set to start, while Jan Kutcha and Patrik Schick will lead the attack. Schick, the top scorer in the squad with 19 goals, will aim to add to his impressive tally at this competition. Adam Hlozek is also an option for the attack, despite having only two international goals.

Portugal enters Euro 2024 with high expectations, having won Euro 2016 and reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup under new manager Roberto Martinez. The team is among the favorites due to their star-studded squad and strong recent form, including a 3-0 friendly win over the Republic of Ireland, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice. Despite losing two of their last four matches, Portugal is favored to top Group F, which includes Turkey and Georgia, and advance to the knockout stages.

Czech Republic arrives in good form, winning their last five matches, including a 2-1 victory over North Macedonia in their final warm-up fixture. Historically, they were runners-up in Euro 1996 and reached the semi-finals in 2004. Their qualification campaign for Euro 2024 was solid, finishing ahead of Poland in Group E with 15 points from eight matches. However, they have lost four of their last five encounters with Portugal, including a 4-0 defeat in the 2022 UEFA Nations League.

While the Czech Republic's recent form is impressive, Portugal's quality and experience are expected to prevail. The Iberian nation has the talent to overcome their opponents, and despite a potentially challenging match, they should secure a win in their Group F opener.

Portugal's attacking prowess and depth should ultimately prove too strong for the Czech Republic, giving Martinez's side a positive start to their Euro 2024 campaign.

作为今夏欧洲杯的热门球队之一，葡萄牙队将于周二晚上在莱比锡体育场迎战捷克共和国，开启2024年欧洲杯的征程。葡萄牙被认为是德国世界杯冠军的有力争夺者，而捷克则希望从包括土耳其和格鲁吉亚在内的充满挑战的小组中出线。

葡萄牙主教练罗伯托·马丁内斯由于他的阵容深度而面临着几个选择难题。39岁的克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多(Cristiano Ronaldo)有望成为主力，目标是在他的130个国家队进球的基础上再进一球，并通过第六次参加欧洲杯创造历史。41岁的老后卫佩佩也有可能首发，他有可能成为本届世界杯历史上年龄最大的球员。锋线很可能由莱奥和席尔瓦和c罗组成，费尔南德斯、维金塔和帕尔欣哈组成中场三人组。

捷克中场萨迪莱克将缺席比赛，他因伤退出了大名单。像西汉姆联双雄弗拉基米尔·库法尔和托马斯·苏塞克这样的关键球员将首发，而扬·库恰和帕特里克·希克将领导进攻。席克以19粒进球成为队内最佳射手，他的目标是在本届杯赛上再接再厉。亚当·赫洛泽克也是进攻的一个选择，尽管他只有两个国家队进球。

在新任主帅罗伯托·马丁内斯的带领下，葡萄牙赢得了2016年欧洲杯冠军，并进入了2022年世界杯的四分之一决赛，他们满怀期待地进入2024年欧洲杯。由于其星光熠熠的阵容和最近的强劲表现，这支球队是最受欢迎的球队之一，其中包括3-0战胜爱尔兰共和国的友谊赛，克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多梅开二度。尽管在最近四场比赛中输掉了两场，但葡萄牙很有可能在F组出线，进入淘汰赛阶段。F组同组的还有土耳其和格鲁吉亚。

捷克队以良好的状态到来，赢得了最近的五场比赛，包括在最后一场热身赛中2-1战胜北马其顿。从历史上看，他们是1996年欧洲杯的亚军，2004年进入半决赛。他们在2024年欧洲杯预选赛中表现稳健，8场比赛积15分，领先波兰队出线E组。然而，他们在最近5次与葡萄牙的交锋中输掉了4次，包括在2022年欧洲国家联赛中0 - 4惨败。

虽然捷克最近的状态令人印象深刻，但葡萄牙的实力和经验有望占据上风。伊比利亚国家拥有战胜对手的天赋，尽管这场比赛可能充满挑战，但他们应该在F组首场比赛中取得胜利。

葡萄牙队的进攻能力和进攻深度最终将被证明对捷克共和国来说太强大了，这将给马丁内斯的球队一个积极的开始，以参加2024年的欧洲杯。
