Croatia vs Portugal

Croatia and Portugal will play the third round of 16 of the Euro 2016. The derby is on Saturday (June 25). The chief referee of the match is determined Spaniard Carlos Karbajo Velasco, with assistants Alonso Fernandez and Yuste Jimenez. Here is our soccer forecast.
The match Croatia - Portugal will be one of the most disputed and difficult to predict from the tournament adviced by live scores semifinals.
When we talk about Portugal, it always comes the name of Cristiano Ronaldo, as undoubtedly he is a very good footballer, which mistakenly directs us that his team should be the winner. It is precisely this illusion cost significant resources of a lot of bettors of Portugal, and the team failed to win a single game of the group stage.
If we are realistic and looking through Cristiano Ronaldo, then we will see that the players of Croatia put together, as a team are much better than those of Portugal. The players of Daniel Subasic are with classes over these of his colleague Rui Patricio. Carvalho can`t compete with Vedran Corluka, like similar examples abound, and in fact, it remained only Ronaldo, but he just is not enough for Portugal to beat even outcasts like Hungary.
Croatia is our favorite in this meeting, as well as one of the favourites to win the trophy. The team especially brightly shines in the last round of the groups when it fared over Spain and finished in first place. Croatia was the underdog against the Spaniards, and it is justified, but in the end, after several good attacks `the chess players` have reached their goal, it should be noted that Croatia was without several of its key players such as Luka Modric, who has suffered from an injury.
On Saturday, Croatia will have all their available stock. Portugal also has personnel problems, but we don`t see how we will eliminate this rival, especially with what he demonstrated as a game to date. The victory will not be easy for the Croats, but as we saw their game against Spain, they feature very well physically prepared players, who will play at full speed until the end of the match, as opposed to those of Portugal, which, after the 60th minute of the game already play a completely different way.
Our soccer prediction is 1.
