Portugal - Liechtenstein, Picks and Tips
European Championship qualifiers begin again with one of the least balanced matches on the schedule: that between Portugal and Liechtenstein, one ninth in the world rankings and the other 198th. At the José Alvalade, Portugal makes its debut under new coach Martinez, previously on the Belgium bench, and so some experimentation is to be expected: we also expect some youngsters to be thrown in given the timing of the European club season. Cristiano Ronaldo is among those summoned. Liechtenstein will try to limit the damage. The Alpine selection has been scoring very little lately even against teams almost within its reach and its forwards like Frick, Salanovic or Gassner are not prolific even at club level; on the contrary, the defense somehow holds up, having conceded at most two goals per game in the last eight outings. The last time in Portugal also ended in a narrow defeat, but it will be equally difficult to contain the deficit. In the last eight games played, Liechtenstein has never conceded more than two goals. In past European Championship qualifiers, only one in 10 Liechtenstein matches ended with Over 5.5. Portugal and Liechtenstein last officially played each other 13 years ago: Portugal won 2-1.
