Betting Predictions
On Friday night, Portugal will host Poland in Porto for matchday five of the UEFA Nations League.
Poland needs four points from their next two games to make it to the finals, while the hosts only need one point to guarantee a top-two finish.
Head-to-Head
Portugal had won all three of their matches in this competition, including a 3-1 triumph in Poland, until the goalless draw at Hampden Park. Portugal is still three points ahead in the area after Croatia threw away two points in Poland from a dominant position after Roberto Martinez’s team wasted away a 0-0 draw with Scotland at Hampden Park on matchday four.
Team News
With Goncalo Inacio and Ruben Dias sidelined due to injury, Portugal faces a center-back issue going into current international window. Since Martinez is unlikely to start both uncapped Tiago Djalo and Tomas Araujo simultaneously, Antonio Silva, the most seasoned player in that position, should start even if he hasn’t been playing frequently at Benfica.
Diogo Jota and Goncalo Ramos are out for the home team, and Pedro Goncalves, Ruben Neves, and Matheus Nunes are out for the midfield. The absence of renowned striker Robert Lewandowski, who left the team late due to a lower back injury, has severely hampered Poland.
Unless Probierz decides to go for a two-pronged assault, Karol Swiderski and Krzysztof Piatek may compete for a starting position up top for the away team while Arkadiusz Milik is still out of the picture.
Poland’s midfield is missing Jakub Piotrowski and Kacper Kozlowski, and Pawel Dawidowicz of Verona is still sidelined after being sent off in the first half of last month’s match against Croatia.

Verdict
Tip Portugal to Winâś…
Reason
After winning the rematch 3-1 last month, Martinez’s team will be confident of gaining another three points because Portugal has only lost at home once, and that was in 1976.
Poland will need to be aggressive because they know they need to win this game and that even a point might not be enough if Croatia matches their outcome. However, Probierz’s team will find it extremely tough to do so due to the strength of the Portugal team.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goalsâś…
Reason
Portugal is leading the League A, Group 1 section with ten points after two games remain scheduled. Prior to last month’s goalless draw in Glasgow, Roberto Martinez’s team had won their first three group games.
Portugal, who are often dominant at home, has won 11 of their previous 12 games in front of their own fans over the last two years, including triumphs this year against Scotland and Croatia. The final result in both matches was 2:1.
Portugal has scored at least three goals in all but one of their previous 12 home games, and both results appear possible on Thursday.
