Portugal vs Poland, Euro 2016 Quarter-Final: Three Key Battles

Portugal will play Poland at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille in the first of the four quarter-final ties at Euro 2016 in France, with a semi-final against either Wales or Belgium up for grabs for the winner.

Both sides failed to win their respective Euro groups in the first round, with Poland finishing second behind fellow quarter-finalists Germany in Group C and Portugal qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams, with both Hungary and Iceland above them in Group F.

The Poles progressed to the last eight after beating Switzerland 5-4 on penalties at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Étienne, with the game finishing 1-1 after extra-time.
