The Portugal national team will play at home once morest Switzerland in the group stage of the League of Nations. The match will take place on June 5 in Lisbon, starting at 21:45 Moscow time. Portugal v Switzerland predictionbet, odds, statistics.
Portugal
The Portuguese national team in the first round played a draw with Spain (1:1). A very worthy result, especially considering that the match took place on the opponent’s field.
The Spaniards started a little better, scored in the middle of the first half following a cool counterattack, and also created a couple more chances, but the Portuguese, I must say, snapped pretty well too.
After the break, the team of Fernando Santos was also inferior to Spain in terms of possession percentage, but at the same time they still regularly ran out to counterattacks, one of which ended in a goal. He scored, if anything, not Cristiano Ronaldo, but Ricardo Horta.
The Portuguese national team has suffered only one defeat in ten previous matches.
Personnel situation: the main surprise of the previous match was the absence Ronaldo in the starting lineup. As Santos later explained, “there is something that he cannot do at the level of Andre Silva.” This is the twist, as they say. In the second half, Cristiano, of course, appeared on the field, but he certainly was not the best. By the way, Ronaldo has not scored for the national team for five matches in a row. It is even interesting whether he will play once morest Switzerland from the first minutes.
Switzerland
The Swiss national team, meanwhile, had a weak first match in the new Nations League draw.
The Swiss lost on the road to the Czech team – 1:2. And now it is obvious that they are waiting for a difficult struggle for a place in the elite division.
Although it must be admitted that Murat Yakin’s team may have even surpassed the opponent in terms of moments, the result is still important. In defense, Switzerland did not play very reliably.
All predictions for the League of Nations
Switzerland have won only one victory in their previous five matches. And in this segment, in four cases, she missed at least one goal.
Forecast and rate
You can bet on Portugal in this match for 1.79, a draw bookmakers offer for 3.75, and the victory of Switzerland – for 5.65.
The Portuguese had a great meeting with Spain. Apparently, unlike the Belgians, who consider the League of Nations to be absolutely useless tournaments, the Santos team intends to compete with the Spaniards for the first place in the group.
Rate – Portugal win + total over 1.5 for 2.28.
There can be no question of any defeat, but 2:0 or 2:1 in favor of Portugal is a completely adequate scenario.
