Portugal vs Tunisia Prediction & Betting tips
On Monday, the Portuguese national team starts its preparations for what will be its participation in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when the Municipal Stadium of Braga receives a visit to a team that will also be present at the maximum meeting of selections, such as Iran. .
Portugal:
Apparently that defeat at home by 0-3 against the Netherlands in their last friendly was crucial for coach Fernando Santos to make many changes in his squad with respect to that team that won the last European Championship played in France, and players like Nani, Eder and André Gomes have not been considered in the final list for the 2018 World Cup, so now the responsibility lies with their top representatives such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Ricardo Quaresma.
Because Cristiano Ronaldo last weekend played the UEFA Champions League final will not be the game for this game, so the share of the goal will fall on Quaresma, in addition to the AC Milan striker of Italy as Andre Silva to change the poor image shown by the Seleção das Quinas in their last friendly.
Tunisia:
Unlike his rival, Tunisian coach Nabil Maaloul is still testing players to be able to define who will be part of the 23 players who will represent the “Eagles of Carthage” at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and these friendlies first against Portugal and then against Turkey will be decisive for this.
To face the national team Nabil Maaloul has a significant absence in the attack as is that of Youssef Msakni who scored 3 goals in 4 qualifying matches for the World Cup and who was also one of the scorers of the local tournament with 25 goals, due to an injury, so all eyes are on what Rennes France forward Wahbi Khazri can do.
But more than the attack, what has always mattered for Nabil Maaloul is his defensive block, to the point that he has barely received a goal in the last four games where he highlights the triumphs for the low against Costa Rica and Iran which are selections that also they are part of the 2018 World Cup, and against Portugal it is a good opportunity to continue perfecting the offensive block.
The only time these teams met was in a friendly played in October 2012, a game that ended with a draw at one goal.
