The opening game will be between surprise package Denmark and 2004 runners up Portugal in Lviv, the Danish shocked the Netherlands in a backs to the wall one nil victory to make a fantastic start to the tournament. The Portuguese tried similar tactics against Germany, but to no avail as the Germans came away with a one nil victory.
Denmark will take a massive amount of confidence into this game knowing that a repeat performance and a win almost guarantees qualification to the quarters, Portugal on the other hand know that this is a match they cannot lose, if they become more expansive this game (which I suspect they might), they have every chance of winning this contest.
I'm struggling to call this game, I can see it being a draw to be honest with a goal each from both. I don't think Portugal will qualify for the quarter finals but after their opening match, the Danish have a real chance of reaching the next stage of this tournament.
