Chile failed to make strong enough qualifications in the South American zone and will miss the upcoming World Cup. This is yet another signal that the team is already far from its strongest years when it was among the leading forces on the continent. Now the Chileans will use the friendlies to maintain their playing rhythm, and their next challenge is more than serious – an away match against Portugal in Lisbon.
The Portuguese seem ready for the World CupChile's last match was nearly two months ago when the team suffered a heavy loss in a friendly against New Zealand. Portugal, on the other hand, continues to reinforce the impression that it is among the serious contenders for a strong performance at the World Cup. The team won its qualifying group and has an exceptionally high quality in all lines. At home, they traditionally perform very strongly and rarely let such matches slip away.
Prediction: Victory for PortugalI expect Portugal to control events on the field and impose their superiority from the very first minutes. The difference in current form and class between the two teams seems palpable, and the hosts will certainly want to head to the World Cup with another convincing victory behind them. That is why my prediction is a victory for Portugal.
