Portugal – Netherlands, Nations League Prediction

We immediately state that the winner here DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR the European Championship directly. There is no way for a team to qualify for the European Championship before they have played all the Euro Qualifiers. It is only they finish them and, when we see who is qualified via Euro qualifiers, then the League of Nations tournament will finally make sense, and before the Euros there will be teams that will have the opportunity to qualify there.

Portugal and Netherlands played hard matches in the semi-finals, as the Portuguese did not play so well, but when Ronaldo has a day, it’s hard to stop him. The Dutch were very close to dropping off a couple of times, but eventually they came to take advantage of England’s crazy mistakes and took the game. However, both teams showed fluctuations at times.

We expect the Portuguese defense to concede a goal without Pepe, because they also had so many mistakes against Switzerland that it is a wonder how Switzerland didn’t score more. Depay and company, however, as we have seen, are quite effective. Meanwhile, de Ligt is still young, and this game is not really what makes a difference for the future of the teams, so it will not be as closed as the matches for the major tournament finals, and Ronaldo is always a factor, so the forecast for the match will be BTTS at 1.73.

Portugal scored a goal in 12 of their last 14 games

The Netherlands have scored a goal in 17 of their last 18 games
