POR vs FRA Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Football Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Euro 2020 Match - June 23rd, 2021
The UEFA Euro 2020 returns with one of its biggest matches so far as Portugal lock horns with France in an important Group F encounter at the Puskas Arena on Wednesday. Both teams have brilliant players at their disposal and will need to win this game.
Portugal made an excellent start to their Euro 2020 campaign with a 3-0 victory against Hungary. Germany left the Portuguese reeling from a stunning performance, however, and the reigning champions face a daunting task this week.
France are also yet to hit their stride at Euro 2020 and were held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Hungary outfit in their previous game. Les Bleus are one of the favourites to win the competition and have a point to prove in this fixture.

Portugal (POR) vs France (FRA) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first-ever goal against Germany last week and will look to replicate the feat against France in this fixture. The Portuguese talisman is in excellent goalscoring form at the moment and is a good captaincy choice for this team.
Kylian Mbappe is yet to make an impact at the Euros and Portugal's slightly shaky defence might give him the impetus he needs on the pitch. Antoine Griezmann, on the other hand, has been France's best player and is a must-have in this team.
N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba have done an admirable job in France's midfield and will have to work hard to seize the initiative against Portugal. Bernardo Silva was impressive against Germany and could also make his mark against France.
