Match Features
On paper, Portugal are the favourites. But their last match against Georgia, in Group F, left a bitter taste for the Seleção fans. In fact, the 2-0 loss to the bottom of the group was a somewhat unexpected scenario. However, Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates still occupy first place in Group F thanks to two impressive wins over the Czech Republic (2-1) and Turkey (3-0).
They face Slovenia. The latter have a tougher journey, having not won a single game since the start of the competition. Three draws against Group C teams, England, Serbia and Denmark. So it is hard to imagine them causing a surprise against the mighty Portugal. However, if the Georgians did it, why not…

The history of confrontations between the two choices
This is only the second time the two teams have faced each other! The first time was last March during a friendly match in Ljubljana. Slovenia won 2 – 0. So Roberto Martinez's men will have to get their revenge.
