Portugal vs Poland Prediction

Portugal Form

Portugal look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them get two wins and a draw. They ran out 2-1 and 1-3 against Scotland and Poland respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Scotland as the game finished level. The exact score was 0-0. Portugal put four wins on the board in their previous six internationals. They drew one and lost one, scored 13 goals while conceding eight.

Poland came away from their previous three games with just one draw, as they lost 1-0 against Croatia. A 1-3 defeat against Portugal followed, before a 3-3 draw with Croatia. Poland claimed just one win from the last six internationals. These also drew two and lost three games, as they were outscored by 13 goals to nine.

Portugal remain without defeat after claiming ten points after four rounds of the Nations League A this season. This puts them up in first place and a win in this penultimate round could mean securing the semifinal-place with one round to go. Poland enter the fifth Nations League A group match on four points and need to go all-in chasing a win. A draw might be enough to keep them in the race for the next round, but are they willing to depend that much on Lady Luck? To be in with a sound chance of seeing the next round, a win is needed for Poland.

While we don't believe Poland are strong enough to prevent Portugal from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Amazingly, Poland failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches.
