Portugal will face Luxembourg in the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifier. Fans are expecting Portugal to replicate their last victory over the Junta, which they won 1-0, with the lone goal scored by Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo in the 89th minute.
Recently, Portugal's offense has been very strong as they have scored a total of 20 goals in their last six games. Portugal has also only conceded two goals in those games.
Luxembourg, meanwhile, won their last match against Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, with goals scored by Evandro Borges Sanchez (4th minute) and Daniel Sinani (74th minute).
In Luxembourg's last six matches, the total number of goals they have scored against their opponents has been relatively low, averaging just 1.83 goals per game, with Luxembourg averaging 0.67. It remains to be seen, however, whether this trend will continue in the upcoming matches.
From a historical point of view, since November 17, 2015, the meetings between these two teams have not been favorable for Luxembourg. They haven't had any victories, while Portugal have been completely dominant in these matches, winning all of them.
Goals have also been scored frequently in these matches, totaling 22 goals and averaging 3.67 goals per game. The most recent league meeting between the two teams was on March 26, 2023 in the 2nd round of the UEFA Europa League qualifiers, which resulted in a 0-6 Luxembourg-Portugal result.
Portugal's head coach Roberto Roberto has no injury concerns for this match and the players available for selection are all fit. Likewise, Luxembourg's head coach Ruth Holtz has no injury problems and the players available for selection are all healthy.
By comparing the two teams' recent records, team form and history, it can be predicted that Luxembourg will face considerable difficulties in this match, and it will be very difficult for them to score goals in this match, while Portugal should be able to win easily.
Therefore, we expect the result of the match to be Portugal 4-0 Luxembourg. This victory will not only give confidence to the Portuguese team, but will also keep them in good shape for the rest of the tournament.
