Tonight, the Czech Republic goes against Portugal at the Sinobo Stadium in the UEFA Nations.
Czech have been poor in this campaign and sit 3rd in the group. They have managed to win one out of their four group stage matches. Czech are not looking strong ahead of this matchup and do not have the quality of personnel needed to overcome a star-studded Portugal side. It will be a struggle for the Czech Republic and might have to pull out some upsets if they want to qualify for the knockout stages.
Portugal are just behind group leaders Spain with two wins and a draw so far in this competition. Fernando Santos has a few tough choices to make ahead of the World Cup considering the number of quality players in the squad, a good problem after all. The Portuguese if all goes well will qualify out of the group with ease and might even go on to win the competition for the second time after being the inaugural champions in 2019.
