Portugal Team News

Portugal traditionally performs exceptionally well in European Championship qualifiers, and this cycle is no exception. After six games played, they are at the top of the table with a perfect 24 points and an incredible goal difference of 24:0. They will most likely mathematically secure their spot in the final tournament in Germany after this round.

Portugal defeated Liechtenstein 4:0 in the opening qualifiers, followed by an even more convincing 6:0 victory over Luxembourg in the next round. After that, they faced more formidable opponents but still came out victorious, defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 3:0, as well as Iceland and Slovakia away with the same scoreline of 0:1.

In the previous round, the hosts demonstrated their dominance again, demolishing Luxembourg 9:0 at the Algarve Stadium in Faro.

Slovakia Team News

At the beginning of the qualifiers, it was believed that Slovakia and Bosnia and Herzegovina would compete for the second spot. Still, Luxembourg has emerged as a contender in that race, making them the main rival for Slovakia’s bid to qualify for EURO. However, four rounds remain, and Bosnia can fully enter the battle with wins in the next two matches.

After six games, Slovakia currently sits in second place with 13 points, three ahead of Luxembourg and seven ahead of Bosnia. Slovakia’s only “setback” occurred in the opening qualifiers when they played to a 0:0 draw with Luxembourg. Securing three points in that match would significantly increase their chances of qualifying for the European Championship.

Slovakia has since defeated Bosnia, Iceland, and Liechtenstein twice, with an expected loss to Portugal in Bratislava by a score of 0:1. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that Slovakia put up a respectable fight against the strong favorites and will undoubtedly aim to replicate such a performance on Friday night.
