Portugal vs France: Euro 2020 Group F game preview

Didier Deschamps' France beat Germany in their opening game of the tournament, but a surprise 1-1 draw with Hungary leaves Les Bleus with work to do against Portugal. France have four points from two games and a win on Tuesday will see them top Group F. However, the finalists from the previous tournament will be looking to avenge their defeat against the reigning champions on Tuesday. 

Portugal opened their campaign with a 3-0 win over Hungary, but a humbling 2-4 loss to Germany was not what they needed before taking on the 2018 World Cup winners. With Germany now looking confident of a top-two finish given they face Hungary, Portugal and France have a lot riding on their final group-stage game in Budapest.
