Portugal - Spain: betting tip and bets with odds of 3.50

Current form

The Portuguese national team easily confirmed its status as the favorite in the group stage, when it took first place without a single defeat. Then Roberto Martinez's team lost points only in two away matches with Scotland (0:0) and Croatia (1:1). These misfires did not prevent us from finishing ahead of Checkers in the standings by six points.

Next, the Portuguese had a difficult quarterfinal clash with Denmark. Problems arose again on a visit – a defeat with a score of 0:1. In the return leg, the opponents were pleased with the bright and effective football, Portugal won 3-2 in the regular time, and scored two more goals in the extra-halves. The 5-2 victory took the national team to the semifinals.

Initially, in the semifinal game with Germany, the bookmakers led the Portuguese national team as the underdog. It seemed that there would be no sensation, as the German squad opened an account. It was only after the missed goal that Roberto Martinez's team turned on and began to work faster with the ball. As a result, Conceicau and Ronaldo brought victory to the squad with their goals within five minutes. It was not difficult to keep the advantage gained.

The Portuguese national team has reached the final of the League of Nations for the second time in its history. In the 2018/2019 season, the team won the trophy, beating the Dutch national team in the decisive match (1-0).

Disqualifications and injuries

There are no significant losses in Portugal. Due to injury, defender Cancelo was not called up for the decisive matches of the League of Nations, but the national team has someone to replace this player without losing the reliability of the defense.

Current form

After winning the European Championship, the Spanish national team has not stopped there and is striving to win the Nations League trophy. For the third time in a row, the Spaniards reach the finals of this tournament. Last season, they beat Croatia in the decisive match in a penalty shootout.

This time Luis de la Fuente's team took the first place in the group without any problems, ahead of Denmark by eight points. In the six matches played during the group stage, the Spaniards lost points only in the away match with Serbia (0:0). In the quarterfinals, they had a difficult test of strength – two matches with the Netherlands. Both matches ended in a draw, and the fate of the ticket to the semifinals was decided in a penalty shootout.

Spain has been demonstrating effective football throughout the tournament. So, we scored 13 goals in the group stage, and scored five goals against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals. Under the leadership of Luis de la Fuente, we do not see a national team that relied strictly on ball control, which often lacked speed in developing attacks. Right now, it's just due to the speed that it turns out to pass through the defenses of any enemy. The power of the Spanish attack was fully felt by the French national team in the semifinals. During that meeting, the red fury led 4-0, although the ending was unsuccessful, but it still turned out to win 5-4. Note that Yamal scored a double, which, even taking into account the busy season, does not slow down.

Disqualifications and injuries

The Spanish national team is missing Rodri, Laporte, Carvajal and F. Torres.

Interesting betting trends

• In four of the last five matches, Spain has won in the opening 45 minutes.
• Spain's players were offside more often than their opponents in five of the previous six matches.
• In six consecutive matches in the League of Nations, the Spaniards scored at least two goals.
• For eight matches in the League of Nations, the Spanish national team does not leave the field without scoring a goal.

Approximate line—up: Simon — Porro, Le Norman, Heysen, Cucurella — Merino, Subimendi, Pedri - Yamal, Oyarzabal, N. Williams.
