Bernardo Silva will be a defining factor for Portugal

Portugal has proved to be one of the toughest teams in Europe to beat like they have regularly displayed in their qualifiers, as well as in their victory in the UEFA Nations League earlier in the summer. With an abundance of talent in the attacking third along with stalwart Cristiano Ronaldo firing on all cylinders for the national team, Portugal will definitely be a force to reckon with in next summer's tournament.

Bernardo Silva has been excellent for Manchester City as well as Portugal this year, slowly moving towards the title of the best attacking midfielder's in Europe. Golden Boy Joao Felix along with the effective Bruno Fernandes make up a mouth-watering attacking line up complementing Ronaldo's goal-scoring prowess.

Portugal's problems stem from their ageing defensive lineup, with their centre-backs slowing down and being exposed regularly. Raphael Guerreiro, Nelson Semedo, and Joao Cancelo give them great options for the fullback positions. The talent and doggedness of this Portugal side make them a much better bet than the Euro 2016 winning team. They have been drawn in the Group of Death alongside Germany and France.

Defence - 7/10

Midfield - 8/10

Attack - 9/10

Key Players: Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix
