Poland vs Portugal Prediction & Betting tips
The action of the UEFA Nations League comes back in the middle of the week, and one of the attractive games is the one that will be played at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow, when Poland receives the visit from Portugal, the game that corresponds to Group 3 of the League A .
Poland:
Very special game is what awaits us this Thursday in Chorzów and we say it especially for the side of Poland, and is that one of its main references in recent years such as striker Robert Lewandowski will fulfill his 100th game with the national shirt and all the squad is willing to dedicate the game and what better to do with a victory.
Those led by Jerzy Brzeczek could not maintain the victory in their debut in the UEFA League of Nations when they visited Italy, and we remember that the Eagles took advantage in the scoreboard thanks to the goal of the Napoli midfielder, Piotr Zielinski, but pitifully in the absence of twelve for the final, the referee scored a penalty for Azurri and Jorginho changed it for a goal, and in this way the tie against the Italians was sentenced.
So this Thursday at home they will want to add their first victory, and the first one also after their poor performance at the 2018 World Cup where they only added a victory against Japan by 0-1 and this did not reach them to advance the round; remember that Poland comes from playing a friendly against Ireland and the result was also tied to a goal.
Portugal:
For their part, those led by Fernando Santos could do the task in their debut just against Italy and won 1-0 thanks to the goal of André Silva and thus are the leaders of Group 3.
For this game again the Selecao das Quinas will miss its maximum referent as is the Juventus forward of Italy as is Cristiano Ronaldo, so Santos will have to rely once again on the likes of André Silva, Bernardo Silva and Bruma who, although they do not have the effectiveness of Ronaldo, want to take advantage of this moment to occupy a place in the eleven stellar of the Portuguese team.
While behind will be the safety and experience of Pepe, in addition to also experienced goalkeeper Rui Patricio and the hand of them want to add a good result in Poland that allows them to take hold at the top of the group and get a step away from being a finalist.
For Poland this Thursday’s game is very special, and they still remember what they experienced in the quarterfinals of the last European Championship France 2016, when after tying in the regulation time against Portugal to a goal, the Lusos defeated it by the penalties for 5-3.
The game in France was the eleventh game between these teams, where Portugal has four victories for three from Poland.
Now playing in Polish lands, the results favor the homeowner, since Poland is unbeaten in the last two games against Portugal against their fans, the first was a 2-1 triumph in 2006 and the last one a goalless draw. in 2012.
