Betting Predictions
Portugal will play a friendly match against the Republic of Ireland in Aveiro on Tuesday night to wrap up their preparations for the European Championship this summer.
The Republic of Ireland will return to competitive action in the UEFA Nations League at the beginning of September, while Roberto Martinez’s team will begin their Euro 2024 campaign on June 18 against the Czech Republic.
Head-to-Head
Ireland has never triumphed against the hosts on Portuguese soil; their most recent meeting was in the 2022 World Cup qualifying round, where they were drawn and narrowly defeated. Portugal has given up in their previous four games.
In their last three home games, the hosts have let up two goals or more. Last week, the Republic of Ireland defeated Hungary 2-1 in a game that raised spirits.
Team News
Cristiano Ronaldo was not used as a substitute in Portugal’s most recent 2-1 loss to Croatia; nonetheless, the 39-year-old is anticipated to start for the Irish team. Joao Cancelo, Jota, and Antonio Silva are expected to join Ronaldo in the starting lineup, as head coach Martinez makes adjustments to the starting lineup from Saturday.
In midfield, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Palhinha, and Vitinha should continue to start, but Matheus Nunes and Joao Neves should play at some point during the match. Rafael Leao is likewise adamant on starting the opening Euro 2024 match for his country, and the AC Milan forward may play an additional 45 minutes.
Regarding the Republic of Ireland, acting manager O’Shea may select the same team that entered the field at the sound of the last whistle in their victory over Hungary.
In the 2-1 victory, Adam Idah scored his fourth goal for his country, but Troy Parrott is also vying for a starting role after scoring his fifth goal for his nation off the bench against Hungary. Robbie Brady and Shane Duffy are expected to start for the opposition on Tuesday night, while Seamus Coleman should lead the squad from the middle of defense once more.
Probable Line-Up
Portugal XI:
Costa; Cancelo, A Silva, Dias, Dalot; Fernandes, Palhinha, Vitinha; Bernardo, Ronaldo, Jota
Republic of Ireland XI:
Kelleher; Coleman, Duffy, D O’Shea; Doherty, Smallbone, Cullen, Brady; Azaz, Idah, Szmodics
Verdict
Tip: Portugal to Winâś…
Reason
Portugal has a talented, offensive team that is rightfully considered as one of the favorites for the Euros. Though they lost their last two friendlies, you wouldn’t want to be steamrolling into them at absurd prices for what is essentially a glorified warm-up, especially with their opening Euro 2024 match quickly approaching. They will, however, offer you opportunities, and the fact that they have now surrendered in their previous four games should instill hope in an Irish team looking to build on their victory against Hungary.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goalsâś…
Reason
Portugal has let up two goals in their last three home games and has conceded in all five of their previous games overall. The Irish could anticipate some openings during this game since the hosts will probably rearrange their group later on. With this talented Portugal team, it’s difficult to envision the visitors holding the hosts at bay.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
