Portugal vs Ireland Preview and Team News
Portugal Team News
Roberto Martinez will be looking for his Portugal side to take another step toward securing their spot at next summer’s World Cup when they host Ireland on Saturday.
Seleção das Quinas have made a quick start to their Group F campaign, winning each of their opening two matches and scoring eight goals in the process. Martinez has settled on a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Fernandes playing in the No. 10 role behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
Width comes from Neto and Silva, but Felix and Conceicao are both pushing for starts. As a possession-focused team, a lot of responsibility is placed on Neves and Vitinha in the middle of the field.
Portugal predicted lineup vs Ireland (4-2-3-1): Costa; Cancelo, Dias, R. Neves, Mendes; J. Neves, Vitinha; Silva, Fernandes, Neto; Ronaldo.
Ireland Team News
It’s been a damaging start to World Cup qualifying for Heimir Hallgrímsson’s Ireland. They already sit bottom of the Group F standings, having picked up just one point from their opening two matches.
The Boys in Green have played in a 3-4-2-1 formation throughout the campaign, shifting into a 5-4-1 when out of possession. Manning and Ogbene have important roles in the wide-back positions, while creativity in the final third rests on the shoulders of Azaz and Taylor.
Ferguson is expected to lead the line for Ireland, but he’s been void of much service in their two previous World Cup qualifiers.
Ireland predicted lineup vs Portugal (3-4-2-1): Kelleher; O’Brien, Collins, O’Shea; Ogbene, Cullen, Smallbone, Manning; Azaz, Taylor; Ferguson.
Portugal vs Ireland Prediction
- Pick: Portugal to win
- Odds: -626 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Portugal 3-0 Ireland
A home victory looks very challenging to oppose when making a Portugal vs. Ireland prediction this weekend.
Martinez’s men have been one of the best attacking sides in the qualification campaign and have excelled in chance creation, as evidenced by their average xG of 1.71. They’ve also been clinical, scoring 2.5 goals per game.
Ireland have been defensively weak throughout this calendar year, and they’re typically vulnerable when coming up against teams that boast pacey wingers. Therefore, it could be a comfortable evening in Lisbon for the hosts this week.
Portugal vs Ireland Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams Not to Score
- Odds: +150 (20Bet)
As well as being offensively strong, Portugal have also caught the eye defensively. They’ve restricted opponents to an average xG of just 1.27 this year, while conceding just 1.1 goals per game.
Ireland, meanwhile, have consistently struggled in the final third, posting an xG of just 1.24 and scoring 1.1 goals per 90 minutes. However, against a European heavyweight, creating clear chances could prove especially difficult.
