Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Portugal vs Spain
Portugal
After their commanding win over the Czech Republic in Prague in the previous round, Portugal are now in the dring seat to qualify for the UEFA Nations League finals for the second time in three seasons. Having won the first edition of the UNL, the Selecao seem to have a strong relationship with the competition.
Leading Group two with ten points, Portugal are two points clear of second-placed Spain and need a draw to qualify, something they managed to do in the previous four games. However, we have to go back to 2010 to find Portugal’s last win over Spain which was in a friendly by 4-0.
It’s not only the complete domination in Prague by Portugal that catches the eye, but also coach Santos’ defense in recent games that conceded just two goals in the five UNL fixtures this season. Not to mention the very high efficiency on the other end scoring four out of five shots on target.
Spain
A surprise defeat in a very crucial period saw Spain concede the top of the group to their hosts and rivals Portugal. Surely the last thing coach Luis Enrique wanted was to travel to Portugal needing a win to qualify to the finals.
Notably, the last time Spain beat Portugal on the road was back in 2003 in a friendly. The Spanish team continued to prove that they suffer against teams who play compact defense as we can from the stats of the match that shows that La Roja managed just four shots on target in over 90 minutes.
Luis Enrique looks uncertain with his attack as he substituted all three starters. Still, La Roja must be at their best in Portugal on Tuesday night where they last managed to score back in 2003.
Portugal vs Spain Prediction
This is one of European football’s biggest rivalries, and fans couldn’t have asked for a more interesting scenario. We think both teams have equal strengths but Portugal seems to have a slight edge over their neighbors. Thus we will back the Selecao to cover the 0 goal handicap.

Safe Bet
Spain scored one or fewer goals in three of their last six matches and in seven of the last eight h2hs with Portugal. Portugal meanwhile conceded under one goal in their last seven games. With odds of 1.80 at 22Bet, we will back Spain to score under one goal in Tuesday’s game.
Get Rich Quick
As we covered in our first prediction the outcome draw in this fixture has a great possibility since Portugal and Spain drew in their last four meetings. With Portugal needing a draw to finish on top of the group, we predict the home side to guide this one to a stalemate which has odds of 3.34 at 22Bet.
Anytime Goalscorer
Diogo Jota has been playing with the Portuguese senior national team since 2019 and has 28 caps. During that period the 25-year-old scored ten goals and was also on target in the last game against the Czech Republic. With odds of 3.10 at 22Bet, we predict Jota to score anytime in Tuesday’s match.
Highlighted Player
Despite playing as a right back, Diogo Dalot scored twice in Portugal’s last game against the Czech Republic. The Manchester United defender has a big future in front of him in the Portuguese national team after some convincing performances in recent games.
