Our team news and predicted line-ups for Portugal v France at Euro 2024. <\/p>
One of the pre-tournament favourites will exit Euro 2024 at the quarter-final stage on Friday night as Portugal take on France.<\/p>\n
Roberto Martinez\u2019s men nearly said their goodbyes on Tuesday but Diogo Costa\u2019s penalty shoot-out heroics ensured they edged past a spirited Slovenia team that had taken them to extra time and penalties.<\/p>\n
The brilliance of Jan Oblak in the Slovenian net was one factor but Portugal struggled in forward areas and will need to up their game against France if they want to make it to the final four.<\/p>\n

Didier Deschamps\u2019 France have proven themselves time after time in tournaments but they\u2019ll need to do so again against heavyweight opposition.<\/p>\n Things don\u2019t get any easier for the winner as either Germany or Spain, who meet in Friday\u2019s earlier quarter-final, will be waiting for them in the next round.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you the predicted team news for Portugal v France at Euro 2024.<\/p>\n Read more: Euro 2024 fixtures<\/a> | Euro 2024 presenters<\/a> | Euro 2024 predictions<\/a> | Euro 2024 group analysis<\/a> | Euro 2024 team-by-team guide<\/a> | Euro 2024 kits ranked<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Portugal are free of injuries or suspensions but a tight turnaround after playing 120 minutes in the round of 16 may give Martinez pause for thought. The Spaniard is likely to stick to his trusted 4-2-3-1, despite some early-tournament tinkering, and keep veterans Pepe and Ronaldo in the side.<\/p>\n Deschamps is set to be without one of his trusted lieutenants with Adrien Rabiot suspended but in Eduardo Camavinga, he has a top-quality midfield replacement. The French boss may, however, opt for a more attacking change by shifting back to a 4-2-3-1 and starting Ousmane Dembele.<\/p>\n Portugal:\u00a0<\/strong>Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes; Vitinha, Palinha; Silva, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo<\/p>\n France:\u00a0<\/strong>Maignan; Kounde, Upemecano, Saliba, Hernandez; Kante, Tchouameni; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Thuram<\/p> Read more: Best football players in the world<\/a> | Best football players of all time<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0Sport<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.
