Match Prediction-Croatia vs Wales Betting Tips and Match Prediction
The team extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to six matches in Trnava on Thursday, demonstrating their continued progress in recent years. With second place in Group J looking wide open – assuming favourites Portugal will run away with it.
It was critical for them to avoid defeat in their first match as they look to qualify for a major tournament for the first time in their history. Winning three of eight matches during the most recent World Cup qualifying campaign to finish level on points with third-placed Republic of Ireland, Luc Holtz and his players will be confident of finishing in the top three, with Slovakia, Iceland, and Bosnia and Herzegovina providing no fear factor. However, beating Portugal on Sunday will be the ultimate litmus test for The Red Lions, especially after being defeated by them in both of the aforementioned qualifiers for Qatar.
Moris; Bohnert, Chanot, Gerson, Pinto; Sinani, Barreiro, Pereira, Olesen, Sanches; Rodrigues
Portugal looked capable of going all the way in Qatar after winning their first two matches before thrashing Switzerland 6-1 in the last 16 to reach the quarter-finals for only the third time in their history. Martinez was most likely appointed in an attempt to bring more appealing football to A Selecao.
Santos’ style was widely regarded as too conservative at times. The former Everton manager will be desperate to make it two wins in a row, but he will be acutely aware that the trip to the opponent’s home will provide him and his new set of players with a much stiffer challenge, even if they will be expected to win comfortably in the end.
Patricio; Danilo, Dias, Inacio; Cancelo, Silva, Palhinha, Fernandes, Guerreiro; Ronaldo, Felix
Although Luxembourg have clearly improved during Holtz’s lengthy tenure as manager, they are still some way short of being able to consistently challenge teams of Portugal’s calibre. Martinez’s secondary goal for the trip to Luxembourg City may be to keep another clean sheet, and as a result, we can expect a tighter victory than many may expect.
Luxembourg 1-0 Portugal, predicted by us.
