Both nations have had their share of impressive victories during the Euro 2016 tournament.
France had wins over Romania and Albania in the groups stage, as well as a draw with Switzerland, before moving through to the final with wins over Republic of Ireland (2-1), Iceland (5-2), and most recently Germany (2-0).
Portugal have fought their way through despite finishing as a third-placed qualifier from the groups stage on the back of three draws against Iceland, Austria and Hungary.
However they came to life when the knockout stage began, recording wins over Croatia (1-0 in extra time), Poland (1-1 then 5-3 on penalties), and most recently Wales (2-0).
Neither side has lost a match at any point during the tournament, though they have four draws on the ledger between them.
France enter as the favourites with betting companies, priced at $2.10 to have a win sewn up after 90 minutes, while Portugal are at $4.33 (and a ‘draw’ is priced at $3.10).
However the big stage was made for big players and there’s always the possibility that Ronaldo or possibly one of Portugal’s lesser names could turn in a match-winning performance and steal the show from the host nation.
