UEFA Nations League
Portugal did not show their best at the World Cup and were eliminated in the round of 16 by Spain. Cristiano Ronaldo also did not show his best, but he is once again part of the squad for the upcoming matches in the Nations League. Experienced Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus has taken over the team. He was recently the coach of Ronaldo at Al Nassr. Otherwise, he has spent most of his coaching career in Portugal, mainly at the helm of Benfica and Sporting. Portugal is the current holder of the trophy in the Nations League and expectations are that they will start the competition with a victory.
Wales showed some improvement with Craig Bellamy at the helm, but they fell just short of qualifying for the World Cup, being eliminated in the playoffs after penalties against Bosnia. Otherwise, the team had some decent matches, but it became a problem when facing the top favorites of the Old Continent, which is the challenge they face now.
Prediction: victory for Portugal and under 3.5 goalsPortugal is capable of exploding, but that hasn't happened often lately. It was evident at the World Cup, and I don't believe Jorge Jesus will make things perfect in his first official match yet. It is clear that Wales will struggle to get anything from the match, but I wouldn't be surprised by a victory for Portugal with under 3.5 goals in total in the match.
