Midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo is the country's main goal threat. He will be supporting Hugo Almeida and Portugal also have Nuno Gomes to call upon if necessary.
Portugal finished runners up in Euro Qualification Group A, losing one game against group winners Poland and drawing a massive six times.
Portugal are one of the most improved sides over the last ten years but lack of prolific striker is always a worry for any team. Other players than Ronaldo will have to chip in with their fair share of goals if they are to justify their position as one fo the favourites in the Euro 08 Betting.
Portugal have the best player in Europe right now, probably the world, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portugal also have a number of other top midfielders including Simao and Nani.
Portugal may rely to heavily on Ronaldo to score and create goals.
