Portugal v Israel Tipp & Quoten, 09.06.2021 – 20:45
On Wednesday evening, 09.06.2021 at 20:45, the European Championships against Israel will take place at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon. The incumbent European champion already tested against Spain a few days ago. The two top European teams have scored a tired zero number and have to increase slightly before the final round. Last Saturday, the blue and white team won a friendly match in Montenegro and were the winners. While the Selecao in group F meets Germany, France and Hungary in the EURO, the Israelis are still waiting for their first participation in the European Championships in the history of the association.

In the first friendly of the year against Spain, the Portuguese Selecao did not go beyond a zero in Madrid, but despite a moderate international game can live well with a draw against a very strong opponent. The three World Cup qualifying games resulted in seven counters. There were two victories against the small football nations of Azerbaijan at home (1-0) and most recently in Luxembourg (3-1). The second day in Serbia ended 2:2.
The national team of Fernando Santos thus remained undefeated in 2021 (two wins, two draws). The last defeat was in mid-November 2020 during the UEFA Nations League group stage against France at home (0-1). The European Championship defender won the European Championship for the first time in France in 2016 and beat the host 1-0 in the final after extra time. The Portuguese were able to win only one game after regular playing time – semi-finals against Wales (2-0). The three group games against Iceland, Austria and Hungary all ended with a score split. In the quarter-finals against Croatia there was a 1-0 victory after overtime and in the round of the last eight teams against Poland a win after penalty shootouts.
With Dortmund’s Raphael Guerreiro and Frankfurt’s Andre Silva, two Bundesliga players are in the Portuguese national squad. Superstar is and remains of course Cristiano Ronaldo of Juventus Turin. Who is in the test game or whether it takes place at all is not quite sure yet. Due to the corona incident at the last friendly against Spain, the entire Portuguese team may have to quarantine.

The national team of Austrian coach Willi Ruttensteiner celebrated a 3-1 victory in Montenegro last Saturday and was also well represented in the qualifying matches for the World Cup in Qatar 2020. Eran Zahavi (67th) and Manor Solomon (69th) scored the goals for the blue and white team in Pod Goricom in the second round with a double strike to lead 2-0. In the final phase it became even more exciting because the hosts reached 1-2 by converted penalty from Fatos Beqiraj (81st). Israel’s Gadi Kinda scored 3-1 in the second leg (90th +1).
With the victory in Montenegro, the Ruttensteiner Elf celebrated the second full success in a row and has been unbeaten for three international matches. This year’s World Cup qualifier saw the only defeat against Denmark (0-2) at home. Three days later in March there was a point win against Scotland (1:1) and then the last 4-1 away victory in Moldova. From 1960 to 1992, Israel was not a UEFA member and could not play a European Championship. Between 1996 and today, not a single EM qualification has been achieved. Participation in THE EURO 2021 almost worked. The Israelis made it to the playoffs last year, but failed Scotland in the semi-finals after penalties and thus missed the final match for the European Championship ticket.
Israel attended the 1970 World Cup in Mexico as the only major football event. More than 50 years ago, they retired after the preliminary round, but reached a draw against Sweden and Italy. The Asian champion of 1964 has continuously improved and with Manor Solomon of Schachtar Donezk a star in his own ranks. Middle forward Eran Zahavi is also a name in Europe (PSV Eindhoven). Although the national squad is not among the best in Europe, it is competitive and not to be underestimated.
