Portugal, pushing for promotion, has been in excellent form on home ground this season, collecting 19 of a possible 21 points in the UEFA Nations League.
Poland, on the other hand, has struggled at this level, with four losses out of seven away games, which has hampered their standing in the competitive second tier.
After a first-leg loss, Poland will likely adopt a more attacking strategy in this matchup. Notably, 11 of their last 13 away games in this tier have seen at least two goals scored. Similarly, 16 of Portugal’s last 20 home games have featured over 2.5 goals, hinting at a potentially high-scoring encounter.
This season, all ten of Portugal’s home games in the top flight have seen both teams scoring, including a previous draw with Poland. Poland has also consistently scored and conceded in each of their last five away games.
Prediction
Portugal’s strong home form, with 11 consecutive wins in the UEFA Nations League—one of which was against Poland—suggests they are well-prepared for this challenge.
Meanwhile, Poland has had difficulties on the road, losing 11 of their last 18 away matches, making this a challenging fixture for them.
Prediction: Portugal 2 – 1 Poland
