Portugal and Spain will face off in the match of the 6th round of the group stage of the UEFA Nations League in the framework of the A-League. Who will make the playoffs?
Portugal
In the fourth round Portugal lost to Switzerland (0-1), as a result of which it dropped to second place and passed Spain ahead of itself, lagging behind it by a point. However, the Portuguese are the first to approach the final round, and all thanks to the fact that during the fifth round they did not notice resistance from the Czech national team, sending four unanswered goals into its gates, and the Spaniards were weaker than the Swiss on their field, losing 1-2.
Spain
If only Spain won against Switzerland in the last round, then it would be ahead of Portugal by one point and a draw would suit it in the reporting battle, but now it has to play only to win in order to finish first and get a ticket to the playoff stage. The loss in the previous match was the first for Spain in the current group stage, and before it she scored eight points, having drawn twice and achieved two victories.
Statistics and figures:
- Portugal has one loss after five matches;
- Spain lost in one round out of five;
- Portugal and Spain played 1-1 in the first round.
Forecast
Spain will only be satisfied with a victory, so I suggest putting more than 1 on her individual total, since she will attack a lot, and must score at least once.
