Are we about to witness another 3-3 draw just like the 2018 World Cup when Portugal played vs Spain? In League, A group 2 of the Uefa Nations League, Portugal is placed alongside Spain, Czech Republic and Switzerland which both four teams will be playing against each other today.
The three previous meetings between Portugal and Spain ended in a draw which happens most of the time these two great sides meet, they have played against each other 9 times, 2 wins each for both teams and a total of 5 draws. The Spanish team led by Luis Enrique which have been impressive recently. They played in the final of the Uefa nations league against France and they lost 2-1.
The Portuguese team is also one team to talk about right now in the world based on their last 10 matches they have been so impressive I must say, they won 7 out of their last 10 matches lost 2 and just one draw while Spain also won 7 but lost 3. The Portuguese team was the first to win the Uefa nations league, there have also been lot of changes in the squad and all their players are doing well across Europe in the various leagues and the same goes for the Spanish players too.
Today's possible lineup for Spain is, Unai Simon, Azpilicueta, Pau Torres, Inigo Martinez, Jordi Alba, Koke, Busquets, Gavi, Olmo, Morata and Ferrari Torres while Portugal's possible lineup are C.Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandez, Bernardo Silva, Jota, Mourinho, Otavio, Guerrero, Pepe, Cancelo, Duarte and Patricio. Since there is no Round of 16 or Quarter final in this tournament and it’s just one team that leaves to the group this rule makes the tournament very competitive. Spain will be at home in this first leg of the match.
Czech Republic will also play Switzerland today and both match will start at the same time and Czech Republic will be at home. The two sides have only met once and that’s Euro 2008 in the group stage and Czech Republic won 1-0. Based on their recent performance, the away team stands more chance to win the match than the home team but we just have to leave it to 90 mins or 120 mins of play.
I wish both teams good luck but I’m rooting for Portugal. Kindly check back for more updates on sport news.
