When you end up in a new position, it can go one of two ways - it is possible that you grasp that position and make the best out of it, or you go into frenzy mode, prompting a night you would much rather overlook.

Wales end up in those unchartered waters having moved into the elimination rounds of a noteworthy competition without precedent for their history. Also, they have figured out how to do that playing some awesome football, which is something you can't say in regards to their rivals Portugal.

While Wales have won four of their five matches in the competition as such, Portugal are yet to beat a group in a hour and a half in Euro 2016. They drew each of the three of their diversions in the gathering stages, scratching into the last 16 as one of the best third-set groups, before seeing off the test of Croatia in the 117th moment of additional time, cordiality a Cristiano-Ronaldo-strike-bounce back wrap up by Ricardo Quaresma – that was likewise a match that will go down in the historical backdrop of the European Championships as one of the bluntest ever.

Objectives were rare in the quarterfinal too, with the match against Poland finishing 1-1 after additional time, before Portugal did the business in the punishment shootout to seal their place in the elimination rounds.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in only one of the five matches for Portugal, when they played their best – well, in any event, most energizing – round of Euro 2016. With this match being tipped as the challenge between the two Real Madrid geniuses – Ronaldo versus Gareth Bale – the previous will be edgy to prove to be the best.

Be that as it may, then, as Wales have appeared, on numerous occasions, they are a genuine power to be figured with in this Euro 2016. Winning their gathering may have been amazing, however the way in which they lowered Belgium was an incredible sight and that 3-1 triumph will give Wales all the certainty they require going into this match, even without the suspended couple of Aaron Ramsey, one of the players of the competition, and Ben Davies.

For whatever length of time that Wales stay solid at the back, you feel they will go ahead to win this match in the hour and a half, in light of the fact that there is some genuine forefront in this lineup, especially with a motivated Bale driving the way. On a par with Bale may be for Real Madrid, he appears to go up a couple more levels when he puts on the Wales shirt, and with a last against Germany or France in question, expect the previous Tottenham man to lead from the front once more.

Wales will be the decision of the neutrals, however Portugal have the experience and real competition nous, and that may turn out to be the distinction in this Euro 2016 elimination round.
