Football Fans eagerly anticipate numerous matches around the globe, particularly those held in the Nations League. We at The Football Yeller are here to cover Portugal Predicted Lineup vs Scotland for the Nations League 2024 Group A Matchday 2 matchup which will take place on Sunday, 8th September 2024, at Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, in Lisbon, Portugal.
Portugal Predicted Lineup vs Scotland Preview
Following their victory in the UEFA Nations League opener, Portugal aims to secure another win against Scotland at Estadio da Luz this Sunday. A stunning goal from Cristiano Ronaldo propelled the Selecao to a triumphant start in League A Group 1, securing all three points. At the same time, Scotland faced yet another heartbreaking defeat in the match’s dying moments.
Cristiano Ronaldo reached an incredible milestone by netting his 900th career goal on Thursday, following an early strike from his former teammate Diogo Dalot in Portugal’s 2-1 victory over Croatia in their Nations League opener.
Dalot found the net following a slick pass from Bruno Fernandes, and Ronaldo’s strike gave the home side the upper hand in Lisbon. However, Dalot’s unfortunate own goal narrowed their advantage. Following their exit in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024, the Selecao is back in action, as their all-time appearance holder and record scorer brushes off suggestions to step away from the team.
The head coach, Roberto Martinez, is determined to lead Portugal back to the finals in a tournament they triumphed in in 2019. Last time, they secured the runner-up position behind Spain in their group. With the recent changes in UEFA’s format, finishing second in Group 1 guarantees a spot in the quarterfinals.
However, the former Belgium coach is aiming for a full haul of points from the upcoming home matches. In addition to two matches ending without goals, Scotland has faced defeat in all their encounters with Portugal, meaning the odds are stacked against them at Estadio da Luz.
Going into this Nations League matchup, Portugal has a win probability of 50%, whereas Scotland has a win probability of 25%, and the possibility of A Draw is 25%
