Match description
Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 2. Portugal has individual quality and can win the match in one moment, but her game against well-placed opponents can be too fragmentary. Spain has better control of the midfield, a calmer structure after a turnover and a more natural patience in matches where the score remains low for a long time. We do not assume the dominance of Spain, only an advantage in tempo management and a lower risk of losing shape after a failed action. This should be a very close match, with a greater chance of breakthrough for Spain. Our prediction: 29% for Portugal, 33% for draw and 38% for Spain. Most likely exact score: 0:1. Promotion after the whole match: Spain (43% vs 57%). Status: SMALL BET
