Portugal and Ghana will meet in the first round of Group H.
Portugal
The Portuguese made it to the World Cup only thanks to the play-off matches, in their group at the qualifying stage they lost to the Serbs. For the 37-year-old national team leader Cristiano Ronaldo, this World Cup will be the fifth and, most likely, the last. Recently, he spoke in a scandalous interview, where he spoke negatively about Manchester United, and it is not entirely clear what the atmosphere will be, because his teammate Bruno Fernandes is playing for the European national team (a video appeared on the network where Fernandes coldly greets Cristiano).
Ghana
Ghana made it to the World Cup only after the play-off matches, where it barely passed Nigeria. In the last three matches, one victory was won, over Nicaragua (1-0). The leaders of the national team are Thomas Partie (Arsenal) and brothers Jordan and Andre Ayew.
Statistics and figures
- Portugal is the favorite of the match;
- The teams met once: at the World Cup in 2014, when Portugal won with a score of 2:1;
- Portugal barely made it to the tournament (after the joints)
Forecast
I think that the conflict between Ronaldo and MU can affect the game in the national team, and Ghana will definitely hit the gates of the European team.
