Match Details:
Portugal vs. Poland
Quarter-final: UEFA Euro
2016
Date: 30 June 2016, Time:
3:00 PM
Stadium: Stade Vélodrome
It's a nice contrast of styles awaits the spectators of the
Stade Vélodrome in Marseille Thursday from 21 hours. Poland against Portugal,
defensive solidity against offensive ardor, Lewandowski against Cristiano Ronaldo, the first
quarter-final has some strength that makes us the mouth water.
In reality, neither the Poles nor the Portuguese have made
excellent impression from the start of the Euro.
But the fact is that both teams are present at this stage of the competition.
Poland with a defensive focus that has
stood Switzerland in the fourth round (1-1, 5-4 pens), Portugal thanks to its
ability to score anytime, even when one no longer believes at all - against
Croatia for example, in the 117th minute of a game where the Selecao
did not target one run (1-0).
The problem red and white is a large number of players
threatened pause for yellow cards. Poland is not the craziest team this Euro 2016. But it does not lose. Still
unbeaten, the Poles even conceded only one goal since the beginning of the
competition, ie supreme confidence on the defense of Reds and Whites.
Faced, however, it is not so serene. With three goals in four
matches, Poland is the least prolific team among the eight remaining
selections. In its history the Euro,
it has never scored more than one goal per game (in ten games played). And none
of his ten matches in the competition ended with more than two goals on the
scoreboard.
