A similar result cannot be ruled out at the upcoming meeting. Ireland is in free fall and has only won a single international match since November 2019. So it would be all the more surprising if a forecast on the "Boys in Green” pays off in Portugal vs. Ireland.

Portugal - statistics & current form
At the European Championships in 2021, Portugal caught a hammer group with France, Germany and Hungary. With four points from three group games, the defending champion managed to get the ticket for the knockout phase at the EM 2021, where the "Selecao” had to give up in the round of 16 against Belgium.

Almost two months after the EURO, the Portuguese are now going to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. As the favorite of Group A, national coach Fernando Santos' team is already leading the table. With Serbia, however, Portugal sits close behind their necks and is waiting for the leaders to lose points.
Free soccer predictions
Before the latest form crisis - Portugal have been without a win for three internationals in a row - the "Selecao" remained unbeaten seven internationals in a row. If the form curve is followed up before the EM 2021, a group victory in the World Cup qualification 2022 should not be in danger. After all, the second round match against Serbia will be played in their own stadium.

Mandatory task for Portugal
As part of the current World Cup qualification, Portugal was able to prevail against Luxembourg and Azerbaijan. Surprisingly, there was only a narrow home win against the latter (1-0). If you take a look at the statistics against the Azerbaijanis, the result was more than surprising. After all, Portugal had dominated the match for 90 minutes.

Against Ireland, the Portuguese are now aiming for a third group win. In a sense, it is already a mandatory task in the race for a direct starting place for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The record against Ireland is particularly encouraging in the run-up to the upcoming home game. So far, Portugal have only lost one home game against the Irish.
Free soccer predictions
Fernando Santos can largely draw on the full potential of the upcoming international break. Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently moved back to Manchester United, will also be available again for the qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup. If "CR7" & Co. win the upcoming home game, odds of 1.22 for tip 1 will be paid out in Portugal vs. Ireland.

Expected formation of Portugal:
Patricio; Cancelo, Pepe, Dias, Guerreiro; Pereira, Moutinho, Fernandes; B. Silva, Ronaldo, Jota

Ireland - statistics & current form
After two matchdays Ireland has a very bad starting position in Group A. The "Boys in Green" not only conceded a narrow defeat against Serbia at the start of the group, but even missed a point win in the mandatory task against Luxembourg. Despite their home advantage, Ireland suffered a 1-0 defeat against the dwarf state.

This also worsened the ongoing form crisis in the Irish national team. The team around national coach Stephen Kenny has only won a single international match since November 2019. In the last 14 international matches, the "Boys in Green" have a record of 1-7-6, with their only victory over Andorra.
Free soccer picks
Although no upward trend was noticeable under Kenny, the 49-year-old will remain the national coach of Ireland for the time being. If you consider how weak the Irish national team was under the leadership of Kenny, there are hardly any arguments that would confirm a forecast for the guests at Portugal vs. Ireland.

Next defeat in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers?
Especially in the offensive game, Ireland still has major deficits. In nine of the last twelve international matches, Kenny's team missed a goal. Most recently there was a goalless draw against EM participants Hungary. Ireland remained unbeaten for the third time in a row, but the supposed rising shape curve is more apparent than real.
Free soccer predictions
Against Portugal in the upcoming group game of the World Cup qualifying in 2022, the back team will be challenged. The Tuesday opponent of the Irish is at least one of the strongest offensives - at least when it comes to the individual high-profile in the Portuguese attack department.
Free soccer picks
If Ireland can defy the European champions 2016 and take the first points in qualifying for the World Cup in 2021, attractive odds for a prediction on the "Boys in Green" will be in Portugal vs. Ireland.

Expected formation of Ireland:
Kelleher; Egan, Duffy, O’Shea; Doherty, Hendrick, Hourihane, Cullen, McClean; Connolly, Idah

Previously, Ireland went unbeaten three times in a row against Portugal. Including the home win (1-0) in the friendly match almost 16 years ago.
Betting base forecast & Portugal Portugal - Ireland Ireland tip
Portugal want to defend the top of the group A standings on their own and are therefore under pressure to win in the compulsory task against Ireland. Because Serbia is second in the table, tied with the Portuguese, a division of points against the Irish national team would be fatal.
Free soccer predictions
Because the "Boys in Green” were barely able to convince recently, there are hardly any arguments against a home win for Portugal. Ireland has only won one win in their last 14 internationals. Ireland even missed a goal in nine of their last twelve internationals.
Free soccer picks
The guests from Ireland are expected to touch concrete and defend themselves against the Portuguese group favorites. It would therefore not be surprising if the first goals were not scored until after the break. In the second half at the latest, Portugal will have to take more risks in order to take away the three points against the "Boys in Green”.
