Friendly International

Portugal has conceded goals in four consecutive matches. Ireland has kept a clean sheet only twice in the last nine matches. Portugal has never lost to Ireland at home.

Portugal

The Portugal national team is concluding their preparation for Euro 2024 on a somewhat unfortunate note. They had an excellent qualifying campaign, winning all 10 matches. However, it’s worth noting that Ronaldo and his team didn’t face any serious opponents in their group.

Portugal lost their last friendly match against Croatia, so they will be eager to redeem themselves and head to Germany in good spirits. Portugal will start their Euro campaign against the Czech Republic on June 18.

Ireland

The Ireland national team found themselves in a very tough qualifying group with the Netherlands and France. As expected, they did not make it to the finals of the European Championship and even finished behind Greece in the standings.

In a recent friendly match, Ireland thrashed Hungary, and the match against Portugal will be their final preparation before the start of the Nations League, which is scheduled for this fall.

Prediction

The favorite for the upcoming match is Portugal. They need to redeem themselves after the loss against Croatia, but it's unlikely they will keep a clean sheet. Therefore, a potential scoreline of 2-1 is noted. In the match against Finland, there was no indication that Portugal would concede, especially not twice. Ireland, on the other hand, played well against Hungary and deservedly won. We believe they will manage to score in the upcoming match as well. Thus, our key bet is "Both teams to score (Yes)" with odds of 2.02.
