UEFA Nations League: France And Portugal Set For A Stalemate Fixture.



Leagua A Group 3 will feature one of this weekend's Nations League stand out fixture, which will see France host Portugal at the Stade De France stadium on Sunday 11th of October 2020.




France are unbeaten in their last nine matches overall in all competitions which includes winning eight of those nine games with their last two wins been the most notable as France beat Sweden 1-0 away and a 4-2 win against Croatia.


France have become a force to be reckoned with again on the international stage and have become a very hard team to beat at home with an unbeaten run of 19 matches at home in all competitions with seven clean sheets.




Portugal have seen just 2 defeats in their last 17 matches on the road, that also suggest Portugal will be hard to beat.


Portugal 2-1 lost away to Ukraine in a European Championship qualifier last October, but they head into the clash against France having won their last 4 matches on the trot with 6-0 against Lithuania, 2-0 against Luxembourg, 4-1 against Croatia and 2-0 against Sweden.




France possess the likes of the  driving force of Pogba in the midfield with a forward containing Giroud, Martial, Griezmann and Mbappe.




Portugal possess obvious attacking threat and quality of Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix and Diogo Jota.


PREDICTION: A DRAW IS EXPECTED.
