THE PREDICTION
Portugal began their campaign with a slender 1-0 victory over Croatia. A second-half goal from Fabio Vieira managed to edge a match that the Portuguese statistically dominated with 67% possession. They come up against an English side that have been regularly overhyped but mismanaged. Aidy Boothroyd has come under pressure, once again, following a lacklustre display against Switzerland in which their opposition simply coped with any of the fairly toothless threat offered by England. Portugal are favoured for this one.
