Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva: all players which will worry the Luxembourgish defence at the José Alvalade stadium on Friday. Portugal will be gunning for a win after Ukraine lead the European champions by five points in the group standings.
In an attempt to regain the first place in qualifying, the Portuguese will seek to take three points from a Luxembourg side which has not led an unworthy campaign so far. With no room for error, Portugal will be playing to win, leaving Luc Holtz’s men to mount a strong defence against them.
The last time the two teams clashed, Luxembourg conceded five goals and scored none. The best result for Luxembourg against Portugal dates back to September 2012 during the World Cup 2014 qualifiers, when the Red Lions took the lead in the 14th minute thanks to a goal from Da Mota but ended up conceding two goals by the final whistle.
Luxembourg is currently in fourth position in Group B with 4 points, including 3 earned in their first game against Lithuania.
The match will be broadcast on RTL Today and on the app.
