Tough matches on this week’s Predicta
Portugal v France - Credit: Archant
It is an international weekend in the football calendar and we’ve set some tough matches for the Predicta competition on www.torbayweekly.co.uk
There is an absolute belter to be played in Lisbon and a repeat of the 2016 European Championships final, as the current champions from Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo and all that, host World Cup winners France.
We stay on the international stage for a showdown between Switzerland and a Spain team in transition, but still capable of some amazing football.
Torquay United follow up that extraordinary FA Cup defeat to Crawley Town with a home clash against Boreham Wood, plus three more from the National League.
This week’s Predicta – can you beat chief sports writer Dave Thomas?
PORTUGAL v FRANCE - Portugal win 2-1
Both unbeaten, goalless in Paris last time, so something has to give - all set for Ronaldo to deliver.
