Comments and odds on Portugal vs Luxembourg: The host makes a breakthrough
Portuguese players just went through two difficult matches in the Euro qualifiers and they needed luck to defeat Iceland and Slovakia with the same score 1-0. With the above results, Ronaldo and his teammates still maintained their winning form in Group J of the Euro qualifying round.
Specifically, they won all 5 first leg matches, scored 15 goals and never conceded a goal. Obviously, with their impressive form, Portugal deserves to hold the top spot in Group J and is 5 points ahead of the two teams behind Slovakia and Luxembourg.
Returning to the first match of the second leg, the European Selecao returned to their home stadium Do Algarve to welcome Luxembourg. With the current situation of Group J, Portugal will almost pocket a ticket to attend the Euro finals in Germany if they win tonight's match.
But as mentioned above, Portugal is showing signs of a decline in scoring performance - scoring only 1 goal/match in the past 2 matches. Therefore, fans do not expect Portugal to win decisively in tonight's match. Notably, Luxembourg is not an easy team to bully at the present time, having won all 3 recent matches in the Euro qualifiers.
- Portugal: Costa; Dalot, A Silva, Dias, Cancelo; Vitinha, Palhinha, Fernandes; B Silva, Ramos, Leao
- Luxembourg: Moris; M Martins, Mahmutovic, Chanot, Pinto; Sinani, Barreiro, C Martins, Olesen, Sanches; Curci
