Kick-off at 9pm CET on Rai 1 and Sky Sport

Portugal and the Czech Republic kick off their Euro 2024 campaigns tonight in Leipzig. The match, which starts at 9pm CET, will be broadcast live on Rai 1 and Sky Sport.

Portugal the favourites

Portugal are the favourites to win the match, having won the last two major tournaments they have competed in. Ronaldo will be looking to add to his record-breaking international goalscoring tally, while Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva will also be key players for the Portuguese.

Czech Republic can spring a surprise

However, the Czech Republic can spring a surprise. They have a good record in major tournaments, having reached the semi-finals of Euro 2012 and the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.

The match is likely to be a close one, and it could go either way. Portugal will be looking to start their tournament with a win, while the Czech Republic will be hoping to cause an upset.
