The Portuguese national team was far from the most difficult group – in the company of Armenia, Hungary and Ireland, the Portuguese were initially considered the undisputed favorites. In the first round, Roberto Martinez's team defeated Armenia 5-0 away without a chance and immediately ended up on the first line in the group. Portugal had a lot more problems in the match against Hungary, but the Portuguese pulled out a 3-2 victory and single-handedly topped the table with six points.

The Irish national team was not very lucky with the draw, and if there was an opponent like Portugal in the group, it would be naive to expect a direct ticket to the World Cup, but at the same time, the Irish could well count on second place in the fight against Armenia and Hungary. Heimir Hallgrimsson's team started with a 2-2 home draw against Hungary, which they managed to snatch only in the last seconds. In the match against Armenia, Ireland unexpectedly lost 1:2 and went to the last place in the group.

3.55Tip and bets
The Portuguese national team plays bright attacking football, has very cool players in front, today they will clearly expect to win and will certainly be aggressive in front. Ireland conceded four goals in the last two rounds, the Portuguese and the Irish also concede regularly, it is unlikely that they will remain without conceding goals today. However, at the same time, the Irish are obliged to take risks by their position in the table, Ireland also has its own trump cards ahead, the duel will surely be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. The betting tip is a total of more than three goals. This bet is offered for 1.69
Betting on the outcome
The Portuguese national team is the undisputed favorite of the match and today it will clearly strive to form a third victory in a row and gain a foothold on the first line in the table. At such a short distance, a mistake can be very expensive, and the owners obviously won't have any problems with concentration and motivation. However, at the same time, Ireland will also be as motivated as possible, the Irish have nowhere to retreat to, the guests know how to play defensively – they are unlikely to be able to get points, but they are quite capable of avoiding defeat.
The bet is an Asian handicap (+2.5) on Ireland. This bet is offered for 1.65
Betting on corners
It is quite obvious that the Portuguese national team at home will not allow Ireland to take the initiative and will probably spend almost the entire match at its gates – the home team's advantage in corners should be significant.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-5) on corners for Portugal. This bet is offered for 1.80
