KEY STATS
- Portugal and Switzerland both made their debut Women’s EURO final tournament appearance in 2017, neither team managed to reach the knockout phase
- Portugal and Switzerland met in the very first WEURO qualifying tournament (when Women’s EURO was called European Competition for Women's Football). Their first encounter in October 1982 was actually the first game for both nations in the competition, on that occasion Switzerland were victorious by two goals to nil on home soil in Solothurn
- Portugal kept seven clean sheets in ten matches in their qualifying campaign for Women’s EURO 2022
- Switzerland have lost only two of their last 21 Women’s EURO qualifying and final tournament matches (W15 D3)
- Switzerland have only failed to score in two of their last 21 Women’s EURO qualifying and final tournament matches
THE PREDICTION
One of the closer group games on paper sees Portugal take on Switzerland. The latter go into the tournament without the services of Aston Villa star Alisha Lehmann, although they will have Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic to call upon for goals. However, Portugal themselves pose a serious threat from an attacking perspective and an end-to-end encounter could be in prospect. Regardless of the final outcome, a shrewd move would be backing both teams to score.
