Watch Portugal vs Finland Live Online on your home or office computer via the live football streams at www.oleolefootball.com. The Portuguese have certainly found the Euro 2008 Qualifiers to be challenging. They currently sit in 2nd place of Group A with 26 points and sit one point back of pace setters Poland.
The turning point in Portugal's qualifying campaign which gave them the chance to be in the position they are today came courtesy of a miraculous win in Kazhakstan last month. Luis Felipe Scolari's side could not afford to drop any more points and found themselves even 0-0 through 80 minutes. Then after having taking the lead they once again found themselves even at 1-1 after 89 minutes only to win the match thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's strike in stoppage time. They are coming off of an important victory at home to Armenia.
On the injury front, Scolari has a few concerns as his side will be without Barcelona's Deco, along with Petit and Jorge Andrade. Still, Portugal have more than enough depth to help cover for the loss of these important players.
Finland did not play badly during the qualifiers and actually had a chance heading into this last week. Where the Fins got into trouble was back in October when they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Poland. Those 2 points would come back to haunt them in the end. They are coming off of a 2-1 victory at home to Azerbaijan and will now need to beat Portugal in this match to advance to the finals.
The two sides played to a 0-0 draw when they met in Finland but the hard part for the Fins will come now as they must win away to Portugal. Don't miss this match as well as all the other Euro 2008 live matches with your membership at www.oleolefootball.com.
