Portugal reached the quarterfinals of the last European Championship, but it seems like they did not show their best. They started promisingly with two wins, after which they did not score a goal in their remaining three matches. It remains to be seen whether they will perform better now in the Nations League, where they beat Croatia twice in 2020, including a 4-1 win at home. Cristiano Ronaldo was not in the squad for that victory, but now he is available.
Croatia lost its sparkleRecently, Croatia has lost its sparkle. This was evident at the European Championship this summer, where they remained winless and goalless and were eliminated in the group stage. Just before that, Croatia surprised Portugal with a 2-1 win as a guest, but in a friendly match. So, even now, the Croatians are not to be written off.
Prediction: Portugal to win, both teams to scoreThere is room for improvement from both teams, but I still think they are capable of exchanging at least one goal between them again. For the winner, I would definitely choose Portugal.
