Italy vs Portugal PREVIEW & PREDICTION 17/11/2018

Saturday, at 19:45, Italy will receive the visit of Portugal’s representative in a match for the 5th round of the League of Nations. The match will take place at the “San Siro” stadium in Milan.

The Portuguese, impeccable in front of opponents who only played with their names.

The 3rd Group in League A has hitherto revealed two shadows of Italian and Polish representatives, as well as a selected Portuguese who, although not particularly impressed, knew how to pick up the points and take advantage of the weak form of adversaries. Portugal is the leader of the group with 2 possible 2 wins and is in the pole position to win Group 3 even with a Saturday night’s failure in Milan, even if one point is enough three days later , on its own land against Poland.

However, “squadra azzurra” hopes and has to show the public a change for the better, even if it can not come immediately. Taking advantage of the support of their fans, Roberto Mancini’s students have the opportunity to score a positive result in front of a Portuguese representative who has not yet mattered and will not count Cristiano Ronaldo in the League of Nations.

Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a solid evolution of the hosts. Even if Portugal has done well so far and without Cristiano Ronaldo, the pressure of the result is entirely on the shoulders of the Italians who, at least now, in the last hour, should be able to display a good evolution in front of their fans.


PREDICTION: Over 1.5 goals @ 1.42
