Portugal hosts Poland in a crucial penultimate match of the Nations League group, aiming to secure their place in the quarter-finals. Currently, Portugal sits three points clear of second-placed Croatia, while Poland is in third, six points behind the Portuguese and just three points ahead of Scotland, who are in the automatic relegation spot.
Portugal has performed well in this group, winning three and drawing one of their four matches. They previously defeated Croatia 2-1 at home, which adds to their confidence as they approach this match. A draw against Poland would be sufficient for Portugal to guarantee their spot in the knockout stages, making this a pivotal game for both teams.
Poland, on the other hand, is in a precarious position. They are in the relegation play-off spot and need points to ensure they stay above Scotland. With their final match against Scotland looming, this game against Portugal is critical for their survival in League A.
Given Portugal’s strong form and home advantage, along with Poland’s struggles, we predict that Portugal will secure a victory in this match. A solid performance could not only help them maintain their lead in the group but also boost their confidence ahead of their final match against Croatia. Expect a 2-0 win for Portugal, solidifying their place in the quarter-finals.
