Portugal – Liechtenstein For the 1st matchday of the 10th group of the EURO 2024 qualifiers, Portugal face Liechtenstein at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. The group is completed by Slovakia, Iceland, Luxembourg and Bosnia. The first two qualify for the finals of the event.
Portugal's elimination from the quarter-finals of the Qatar World Cup in November 2022 also brought about a change in its technical leadership. Fernando Santos left after eight years at the helm, becoming the longest-serving and most successful coach in its history. The new coach is the Spaniard Roberto Martinez, coming from six years in Belgium.
There are no surprises in the team, with the new coach basically betting on the team that was in the last World Cup and of course the presence of captain Cristiano Ronaldo stands out.
The group with Bosnia, Slovakia, Iceland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein is more than passable for Portugal, especially since the top two qualify. The obvious goal is the first place that will bring her to the Euro finals for the 8th time in a row.
Of the weakest teams in Europe, Liechtenstein is trying without success to make its presence felt in European competitions but without any.
Their appearance in the last Nations League was disappointing, as they finished bottom of Group 1 of Division D, without a point, with a 1-11 goal tally against Latvia (1st), Moldova (2nd) and Andorra ( 3rd). She scored her only goal in a 2-1 away win against Andorra.
With these data, it participates in the 9th Group, having opponents Bosnia, Iceland, Luxembourg and Slovakia. Obviously, there is no talk of anything more than him even managing to score in one of the matches.
Of course, there is no question about the winner of the match as the difference between the two teams is chaotic. Even betting on many goals is not worth a bet, so one option is to have a penalty shootout. Portugal is expected to enter the area many times and so I think it is very likely that we will have the final penalty.
Proposal: Portugal – Liechtenstein to have a penalty in the match with a performance of 2.35
