Portugal vs. Ghana is another match at the FIFA World Cup. LiveResult.Ru gives a forecast for the game.
Portugal
Four years ago, the Portuguese national team came to the World Cup in the status of the current European champion. However, in Russia, the Fernando Santos team performed far from so unsuccessfully. In the group stage, the Portuguese shared points with Spain (3:3), Iran (1:1) and beat Morocco (1:0). The Portuguese entered the playoffs from the second place in the group, but lost to Uruguay in the first round of the playoffs (1:2). In the qualifying group of the 2022 World Cup, the Portuguese took second place in the group - three points behind the Serbs. After that, the Santos team successfully held play-off matches: they beat Turkey (3:1) and Northern Macedonia (2:0). Thanks to these results, the champions of Europe 2016 are going to the tournament in Qatar.
Ghana
The African national team did not come to Russia four years ago because it did not qualify for the tournament. Before that, the team got to the World Cup three times in a row and twice left the group. In 2010, the Ghanaian national team reached the quarterfinals, where they lost to Uruguay in a penalty shootout in the most offensive way. Ghana held the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup with Nigeria and beat the opponent on the sum of two matches (0:0, 1:1). The team received a ticket to Qatar due to the away goal rule.
Statistics and figures:
- Portugal is the favorite of the match according to the bookmakers.
- In the last three matches, the Europeans have suffered two defeats.
- Ghana also has two losses in the last three meetings.
- Previously, the teams met each other once.
- Eight years ago, the Portuguese beat the opponent with a score of 2:1.
Forecast
I believe that the Portuguese will play the first match of the tournament effectively. I think Santos' wards will be able to score more than one goal.
