Portugal vs Wales: Three Reasons Wales will be in the Euro 2016 Final

Wales play Portugal in the first Euro 2016 semi-final and our football tipster has given three reasons why Wales can beat Portugal in Lyon on Wednesday.

 

Wales now have the chance to reach the final of the Euro 2016 which is a dream come true for the team and the nation, many expected them to struggle getting out of the groups but they have defied all odds and not let anyone stand in their way as they now sit in the semi-finals against a Portugal side who have yet to win a game in 90 minutes.

Bale Can Outgun Ronaldo

This is being seen as the Bale vs Ronaldo semi-final of Euro 2016 and I know I am not alone in thinking that Gareth Bale will come out on top. This is the first reason why I believe Wales can win. Bale has been incredible so far this summer and with three goals to his name already he has brought his team through games a couple of times. Bale is only 26 and yet to reach his “prime” as a player but how much more exciting can this guy get? He is a world class individual who has raised the belief levels in his teams which has worked wonders so far as they have recently rolled over Belgium to get to this stage, he can change a game on his own, produce a moment of magic which is sometimes needed at these big stages. Is Bale one of our Portugal vs Wales anytime goalscorer tips?

 

Bale is definitely somebody to watch in this game and I would not be surprised if he managed to nick a goal and helped his team progress to the finals. I would definitely be tempted by a Wales win at 3/1 with Bet365 or a whopping 14/1 when you open a new Paddy Power account.

Wales’ Set Pieces

The second reason I believe Wales can beat Portugal is their ability from set pieces. Gareth Bale as mentioned, has three goals already with two coming from free kicks. He is the go to man for any free kicks within striking distance and he will continue to take responsibility for this and aim to get one over on his club team mate Ronaldo. I feel like I have been raving on about Bale so far but I have good reason to, with Ramsey suspended for this game the corner taking will fall to someone else and with Bales aerial ability they will have a good chance of getting a goal from one of these situations. How many times do we say that a team’s best chance of a goal comes from set pieces?

The Wales Support #togetherstronger

Finally, the last reason I believe that Wales can beat Portugal is the full support of the nation they have. The 12th man is so important in these types of games and the Welsh have been behind their team since they qualified. With an estimated population of only 3.168 million, it is easy to question how they have found enough good players to get this far, but they have played as a team throughout and more importantly played for each other. The fans support at games has been incredible with the support back at home growing and growing each game, they now have much of the UK behind them willing them to go on and do the impossible and what a victory it would be for the small country if this squad of players could pull it off.

Although they are the biggest underdogs left so far, with the biggest odds remaining they are not expected to progress. I believe they can, the Welsh definitely believe they win and who doesn't love an underdog story. Can Wales do a Leicester?
