Portugal hopes to maintain its unbeaten streak over Scotland as they square up in the UEFA Nations league on Sunday.
The Selecao cruised to a 3-1 win over Scotland in their last meeting in 2018. A win in this encounter will mark a three-match winning streak over the Tartan Army.
Going forward, Portugal got off to a brilliant start in their tournament opener against Croatia, winning 2-1 with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Diogo Dalot.
Conversely, Scotland two goals were insufficient to mount a comeback, as they lost late in the 97th minute in a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Poland in their tournament opener.
Cristiano Ronaldo is anticipated to lead the host attack once again after scoring in the opening encounter, marking 900 career goals.
Portugal vs Scotland Predictions
Portugal appears to be the clear favorite to claim the spoils in this match given their superior quality and strength over the visitors. We expect a commanding victory in front of the home crowd in Lisbon.
We are backing Portugal to keep a clean sheet. Scotland has a blunt offensive prowess, which we believe the Selecao solid defense can contain in this tie.
Cristiano Ronaldo is highly favored to score in this match. The Portuguese talisman is on a scoring streak, which we expect to continue in this match considering the Tartan army’s feeble defense. Cristiano Ronaldo as anytime goal scorer is an excellent pick to back.
