On Monday, July 1, Portugal faces Slovenia in the round of 16 of the European Championship 2024. On this occasion, FM 2024 revealed the favorites for this match. And one team is coming out strong.
The serious stuff begins for Portugal, at Euro 2024. Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates finished top of their group. But the Portuguese got a strong boost after their defeat to Georgia (0-2). Roberto Martinez's men no longer have the right to make mistakes in this competition.
On the other hand, Slovenia qualified as the third best. Benjamin Sisco's teammates are unbeaten since the start of the competition, but they haven't won a game either. The Slovenians remain with three draws in the same number of matches.
We asked the editor-in-chief of Football Manager 24 to predict the outcome of this lopsided encounter on paper. FM 24 gives the Portuguese a huge advantage ahead of this match.

Therefore, Bruno Fernandes' teammates remain the favorites for a place in the quarter-finals. But nothing has been decided between the two choices. As a reminder, Slovenia won the only meeting between the two teams. That was last March 26, during a friendly match (2-0).
