• Venue: Estadio Jose Alvalade, Portugal

Portugal national football team will welcome Finland national football team at their home ground Estadio Jose Alvalade before they kick off their preparation for the UEFA Euro 2024. Portugal sustained a 2-0 defeat to Slovenia in their last friendly and would like to bounce back this time.

Portugal national football team will aim for a positive outcome on Tuesday against a side that struggled to qualify in the European Championships play-offs. They will play two more international friendlies against Croatia and Ireland on June 8 and June 11, respectively, before they prepare for the upcoming European Championships.

Finland national football team, meanwhile, has endured a disastrous run of form as they finished third behind Denmark, Slovenia, Kazakhstan, Northern Ireland and San Marino in Group H qualifying. Although Finland aims for a win, they will look towards another summer without competitive international football.

Portugal vs Finland Prediction

Portugal national football team finished top of their group in the European Championship qualification and have a decent chance of tasting another European glory this summer. In 2016, they beat France 1-0 in the Euro final to secure their first-ever European Championship trophy.

Finland national football team, meanwhile, won’t pose a big threat to Roberto Martinez’s men in this away friendly. They struggled to qualify for the European Championships last summer as they lost 4-1 to Wales in the European Championship play-offs back in March.

Predicted Score: Portugal 1-3 Finland
