[European group stage] European qualifiers at 02:45 on the 31st, Luxembourg VS Portugal
Although Luxembourg's overall strength is weak, the team relied on a cold defeat in the last game. Ireland. This game performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense. However, the next opponent is Portugal. Luxembourg once played Portugal has had a few clashes, but they have never won a victory from their opponents. Most of them have been won by a big score. Moreover, Luxembourg's home battle ability is relatively weak. This time it is destined to be inevitable. Luxembourg has won and lost goals in as many as 12 halftimes in the last 15 matches, while opponents Portugal have also won and lost as many as 12 halftimes in the last 15 matches. In addition, the two sides have had goals in all half of the last 6 matches. Look, the probability of this game is not low. Luxembourg's offense is very incompetent. In the past 15 games, only 12 goals were scored, with an average efficiency of less than 1 goal, of which 7 games were unsuccessful.
Portugal’s star-studded forward has a player with excellent finishing ability like Cristiano Ronaldo. The midfielder has Manchester United’s thigh Fernandez, plus the potential young players and experienced veterans. Now the strength of this Portuguese lineup is doubted, but Judging from the first two games, the efficiency was not as good as it should be. In the last game against Serbia, Portugal had the advantage of holding two goals at halftime, but in the second half it began to be pulled across and was chased by the opponent for two consecutive goals. In the end, Portugal can only win a draw, holding a belly of anger and frustration, I believe this game will become a stage for its venting. Portugal's away performance is not second to home, nearly 10 races and away games 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, averaging 2.2 goals per game, the top 3 away ability in Europe. Portugal played in the World European preliminaries to tie Serbia 2-2 away, but at the end of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the last minute of stoppage time was misjudged, making Portugal missed the opportunity.
The accuracy of the referee only when the referee speaks: Cristiano Ronaldo scored the ball at the last moment of the last battle, but was blown off by the wrong judgment of the ball, making Portugal 3 points into 1 point. After the game, the Portuguese general was quite dissatisfied. For Luxembourg, ranked 98th in FIFA, the Portuguese shooters want to make a big move.
Final recommendation: Portugal wins -2
