Match Preview |
Portugal | DWWLWL
Portugal will be hoping for a better result after a 0-1 Nations League defeat last time out to Spain.
In that game, Portugal had 32% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 on target. Spain had 10 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Álvaro Morata (88') was the scorer for Spain.
Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that huge efforts have been put in by the Portugal backline. Portugal have given the opposition little, resulting in the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their last six outings standing at 3. We will just have to find out if that trend can be continued on here.
Nigeria | DDLLLL 📉
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Costa Rica in International Friendlies action, Nigeria and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Óscar Duarte (7') and Kendall Waston (73') scored for Costa Rica.
It has become apparent that Nigeria have failed to get amongst the goals in their past six encounters, recording the poor return of only 3. In those matches, Super Eagles have also seen the collective goal aggregate against them equal 8. #KR | #EPICSPORTS
