Portugal vs Croatia Prediction: expect a productive match

Prediction for the UEFA Nations League match which will take place on September 5. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Portugal

The Portuguese national team had an excellent start to the first two rounds of Euro 2024 - they beat the Czech Republic (2:1) and defeated Turkey (3:0). But then came the defeat against Georgia (0:2). After that, already at the stage of 1/8 finals, the Portuguese had a torment with Slovenia, and managed to pass it only in a penalty shootout (3:0). The battle with France in the quarter-finals also came down to a penalty shoot-out, but Portugal lost (0:0, 3:5 penalties). So the team cannot consider the last European Championship a success.

Croatia

The Croatian national team did not surprise at last summer's Euro 2024. In general, there was little faith in them, as their squad is currently weak. In the end, it all started with a crushing 0:3 from Spain, and then the Croats drew twice - 2:2 with the Albanians and 1:1 with the Italians. So the Croatian national team had only two points, and with them, obviously, no play-offs were in sight. Therefore, the European Championship 2024 turned out to be a failure for the team.

Expert Betting Tips

The Portuguese team is the favorite in the upcoming battle, especially since it will take place in Lisbon - the team simply must not beat the strongest Croatia. At the same time, the guests consistently score, and recently their only misfire was the first round of the Euros and 0:3 with Spain. Portuguese and Croatian face-offs are always bright, so now we are waiting for goals. We bet on the classic total over.
