PORTUGAL are edging towards a spot in the Euro 2020 last 16, but still have work to do.

Back then, they qualified in third place without a single group stage win, before going on to win the tournament. If Germany avoid defeat against Hungary, Portugal must ensure they do not lose by four goals or more against France. A four-goal defeat would move Finland above them on goal difference in the third place table. If Hungary beat Germany, Portugal must avoid defeat against France to go through. If Portugal win Group F, they will play in Bucharest on Monday, June 28, with Switzerland the most likely opponent. Should Portugal finish as runners-up, they will travel to Wembley to face England. If Portugal finish third, they will play either Belgium in Seville or Netherlands in Budapest. Portugal have an excellent record at the European Championship, having got out of the group every time they qualified for the competition. The last European Championship the Portuguese failed to qualify for was Euro 92, 29 years ago.
