Fernando Santos would face off with Jaroslav Silhavy on Saturday as their teams clash for the second time, having defeated the Locomotiva in their first meeting two goals to nil (2-0). Regardless of the results, we see no other point of return for the Czechia as the Selecao brace themselves for another opponent-pummeling; if the obvious loopholes from their last standoff remain open.

Form in the last 5 games: L-W-W-D-W
It’s a bit obvious that the Portuguese starting XI are the more confident side in this fixture and as such, Fernando Santos would capitalise on his resources to further strain the progress of his Saturday’s Nation League’s counterparts.
The Portuguese side have accumulated seven (7) points from the last twelve (12), losing to Switzerland in a highly frustrating game and barely escaping with a point in their clash with Spain. They come to the frontlines, drafted in a 4-3-3 formation.
The squad boasts of the legendary Rui Patricio manning the goal, and notable names like Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Neves, Bernado Silva and Christiano Ronaldo. With injured Pepe, Rapahael Guerreiro; and a retired Rafa Silva out of play, we hope this is where the big names save the day
Coach: Fernando Santos
Possible Lineup: Rui Patricio (GK), Ruben Dias (CB), Danilo Pereira (CB) Nuno Mendes (LB), Diogo Dalot (RB) Ruben Neves (RB),Bruno Fernandes (LM), William Carvalho (CM) Rafael Leao (LW), Christiano Ronaldo (CF) Bernando SilVA (RW)

A battered Czech side hopes to put up the battle of their lives as they face Portugal for their Saturday’s clash. In hopes of sealing a victory, they have made a lot of reshuffles in the squad delegated for the weekend encounter.
From the post, Tomas Vaclik would replace Ales Mandous. Alex Kral and Tomas Soucelk would coordinate forces in midfield. The Czechia are likely to show a very impressive performance, but we are a bit sceptical that anything extraordinary would result from the game.
Injury-wise,Petr Sevcik is out of play and Schick is back after six months of injury to buttress the attack of the seemingly fortunate Selecao.
Coach: Jaroslav Silhavy
Possible Lineup: Tomas Vaclik (GK), David Zima (RB), Vaclav Jemelka (LB), Jakub Brabec (CB), Jaroslav Zeleny (RWF), Vladimir Coufal (LWF), Alex Kral (RM), Tomas Soucek (LM), Vaclav Cerny (SS), Adam Hozek (SS), Patrik Schick (ST)
Expert Betting Tips
● Portugal are laced with vicious, highly-motivated, goal-scoring attackers.
● A BTTS is unlikely.
The Selecao know that three points may secure progress in this competition, so they’re most likely to do anything to seal this lead. A home win and under 2.5 goals at 1.47 odds may just be the best choice for you.
