What you need to know before betting on this matchup (courtesy of Reuters):
Portugal have won four and lost only two of the last 12 games played against Spain.
Portugal also have the psychological advantage of winning the most recent fixture, a 4-0 thumping in a friendly in Lisbon in November 2010, a few months after Spain's World Cup triumph.
It is the fourth time the two have met in major tournaments and honours are even there too. They drew 1-1 in a group game at Euro 84. Since then, hosts Portugal beat Spain 1-0 at Euro 2004 but were eliminated by the Spaniards 1-0 in the last 16 at the 2010 World Cup finals.
Portugal have reached the semi-finals in three of the last four European Championship finals. After losing 2-1 to France in the last four at Euro 2000, they went one better as hosts in 2004, beating Netherlands 2-1 to go on to be defeated in the final by Greece. In 2008, their tournament ended in the quarter-finals with a 3-2 loss to Germany.
Against France, Spain extended their amazing unbeaten record in competitive games to 18, 17 of them victories.
