Portugal vs Czech Republic: Euro 2024 prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds today

Portugal will look to prove that they are once again contenders to lift the trophy when they face Czech Republic in their Euro 2024 opener tonight.

The 2016 champions underwhelmed at Euro 2020 before crashing out of the 2022 World Cup at the hands of Morocco.

They have since appointed Roberto Martinez and duly boasted the best record in qualifying, so will feel confident about getting things up and running against the Czech Republic.
