Portugal and Croatia face each other this Thursday evening in the Nations League (8:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
It’s been an eternal restart for several years. Considered one of the best-stocked nations in terms of individualities, the
Portugal has a string of collective disappointments in major international competitions. The elimination of the Seleção in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 against the French team was difficult to digest. But Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates must get back on track for the Nations League, a competition that has been successful for them in the past.
CR7, precisely, will once again focus all the attention after having declared that he was not ready to withdraw from the selection. Roberto Martinez, who has not been spared by criticism, will have to find a balance with all his strengths in attack. The duel against Croatia, also disappointing during the last Euro, will be interesting to follow.
The expected compositions
Portugal : Diogo Costa – Diogo Dalot, Rúben Dias, António Silva, Nuno Mendes, – João Palhinha, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes – Bernardo Silva, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Leão.
Croatia : Livakovic – Stanisic, Sutalo, Caleta-Car, Gvardiol – Pasalic, Modric, Kovacic – Sucic, Petkovic, Perisic.
