Match Preview | |
Portugal will face the Republic of Ireland in the 4th match of the 2022 World Cup Qualification for the Euro Zone Group A which took place at the Estádio Do Algarve, Thursday (02/09/2021) at 12:15 midnight Indian time.
Portugal currently tops Group A's standings with 7 points from 3 matches (W2 D1 L0). Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland is in the fourth position in the standings with a collection of 0 points from 2 matches that have been run (W0 D0 L2).
Portugal just swallowed a failure at the EURO 2020 event. Expected to be able to talk a lot, Portugal was in fact only able to advance to the last 16 after their steps were stopped by Belgium with a score of 0-1.
Portugal's performance itself can be said to be quite bad at the last EURO 2020 event. From the 4 matches they played, the team nicknamed A Seleção was only able to pick 1 winner. Meanwhile, the other 3 matches ended with 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Ahead of this match, Portugal is of course expected to be able to forget its bad memories at the EURO 2020 event and immediately improve its performance.
Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland is in pretty good condition ahead of this match. The Republic of Ireland in the last match drew 0-0 against Hungary in a friendly match. These results left the Republic of Ireland unbeaten in their last 3 matches (W1 D2 L0).
Portugal and the Republic of Ireland last met in a friendly in 2014 which took place at the MetLife Stadium. In that match, Portugal was able to beat the Republic of Ireland with a landslide score of 5-1.
If judging in terms of quality, Portugal will clearly be much more favored over the Republic of Ireland in this match. Moreover, this match took place at their own home.
However, Portugal of course must be able to improve its performance if you want to pick 3 points in this match.
