The Portuguese were the first champions of the UEFA Nations League. In 2019, they advanced to the final four, where they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final. Since then, they haven’t managed to reach the final four again, but they came very close in the last edition. Portugal played against Spain, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, earning 10 points in six matches and finishing just one point behind Spain. After that, Portugal participated in both the World Cup and the European Championship.
At the Euros, Portugal reached the quarterfinals, where they lost to France in a penalty shootout. For the September matches of the UEFA Nations League, the Portuguese coaching staff called up many stars, including the legendary forward Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal currently ranks eighth in the FIFA rankings.
In the previous UEFA Nations League campaign, Croatia advanced to the Final Four and reached the final, where they faced Spain. The match ended in a penalty shootout, with “La Furia Roja” emerging victorious. At their last major tournament, Euro 2024, Croatia had a disappointing performance. Despite being in a group with Spain, Italy, and Albania, the Croatians failed to secure a single win, drawing twice, earning just two points, and exiting the tournament.
For the September games of the UEFA Nations League, Croatia’s coach has called up many stars and top-league players, including the legendary midfielder Luka Modrić. They will once again face Cristiano Ronaldo on the same field. In the FIFA rankings, Croatia has lost several positions and is currently ranked 12th.
