Wales vs Portugal Predictions

• Portugal have won six of their last eight away games
• Wales have lost nine of their 11 Nations League games at this level
• Both teams have scored in six of Wales’ last seven home games

Basement boys set for more misery

Wales’ 3-1 defeat to Norway last time out confirmed their position at the bottom of Nations League group A4 so they are merely playing for pride when they host Portugal in this clash.

Craig Bellamy’s men have found it tough at this level, losing four of their five games, and will have to hope that they come through a relegation playoff.

They face a Portugal side who had a disastrous first game since Cristiano Ronaldo’s international retirement, losing 4-1 to Norway. That means that they still need a point to confirm top spot in the group, although they are guaranteed to progress to the last eight.

Jorge Jesus’ side have won six of their last eight away games though and will fancy their chances against a Wales side low on confidence after five defeats from their last six games.

The positivity that surrounded their side following Bellamy’s appointment has largely dissipated and they desperately need some good results to turn things around.

Portugal have hardly been impenetrable at the back, with both teams scoring in their last four games, but their attacking quality should be too much for the Dragons in this one. Portugal can win a game in which both teams score. The visitors’ last three games have produced 14 goals and this could be another entertaining affair. Side with a 3-1 win for Portugal.
