Luxembourg – Portugal, Prediction – World Cup Qualifications

🥳 Luxembourg shocked the Irish in their first match

Unexpectedly for everyone, Luxembourg beat Ireland as a guest with a clean sheet with 1-0 in their first match of the group, while the Irish have 2 defeats already. The Luxembourg team has been making progress for many years, for example, it was a little short of finishing first in its group in the Nations League last season. This victory came at an ideal moment, as Luxembourg had 4 consecutive games without defeat. In addition, they have no injured players from the first match and will rely on their starters again. We note that Group A is one of the groups with 5 teams and Luxembourg, as well as Azerbaijan, rested in the first round.

😑 Portugal still can’t accept the end of the game with Serbia

The match between Serbia and Portugal became extremely discussed because literally at its end Ronaldo scored a winning goal for 3-2, but it was not counted because the referee did not see that the ball passes with its entire volume of the goal line. There is no VAR in the qualifiers, so the match ended 2-2, and the Portuguese and Ronaldo in particular were furious, to say the least. As for the game of Portugal, it was strong, especially in the first half, when Jota scored 2 goals with a header. In the second part, however, the sailors made too many mistakes at the back.

We expect the Portuguese to make it up against Luxembourg

 Expert view: The guests are without Rui Patricio, Pepe, and Guerreiro, who suffered minor injuries before the match with Serbia. Of course, the abundance of talent that Santos has is serious. Portugal has top players at the highest level and after failing to beat their direct competitor for first place, they are now required to win a match against a far more unpretentious opponent. Luxembourg is a brave and aggressive team, so we expect to give a serious battle to its guests, who, however, are able to score at least 1 goal in both halves and this is our prediction – Portugal to score in both halves at 1.83.
