Group A – Weak Section is Portugal’s For the Taking
Portugal lead the Group A winner’s betting market at
PinnacleSports.com priced 2.350 to top the pool phase, ahead of the Czech Republic 3.260*, co-hosts Switzerland 4.810* and Turkey 8.430*. The Portuguese possess an enviable pair of wing wizards in Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Nani, but cannot match that quality in the striker department. Though the Portuguese lost just once during Group A qualification, they finished second, having drawn six of their 14 games. Ronaldo was their top-scorer with eight goals, but an unhealthy amount of expectation rests on his young shoulders, and if the opposition can neutralize his threat, coach, Felipe Scolari may struggle with a plan B.
