We say: Portugal 2-0 Slovenia
Providing Roberto Martinez opts against more tactical experimentation, Portugal should have too much firepower for a hard-working Slovenia side to handle.
The underdogs tend to sacrifice possession to their opponents - having less than 40% of the ball in every game so far - which will invite pressure from the Selecao's skilful forwards.
Even if it takes some time to make a breakthrough, the Portuguese squad runs deep - and that could ultimately prove decisive.
