Why you should back Portugal
Portugal have a plethora of attacking talent outside of Cristiano Ronaldo. Forward Rafael Leao had 23 goal contributions in 28 league starts for AC Milan this season. Midfielder Bruno Fernandes had 16 goal contributions in 37 league starts for Manchester United, and midfielder Bernardo Silva had nine goal contributions in 24 league starts for Manchester City.
In addition, Portugal face a Bosnian team that has aging stars. Edin Džeko helped Inter Milan to the Champions League final this season, but at 37 years old, he does not pose a threat for 90 minutes. Also 33-year-old vice captain Miralem Pjanić has struggled to find form since leaving Juventus in 2020. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Bosnia
The Bosnians have a world class striker in Džeko. The 37-year-old has 64 goals in 127 appearances with the national team and 336 goals in 801 games with his club teams. He is coming off a nine-goal season with Inter Milan and helped the team reach the Champions League final.
In addition, goalkeeper Ibrahim Šehić ended the season on a good note. A 34-year-old keeper for Konyaspor in Turkey's Super Lig, Šehić had three wins and one draw in his last four games for Konyaspor. In his last game, on May 16, he earned a clean sheet against Alanyaspor. See which team to pick here.
