Luxembourg would be looking to pull off a shock victory once again as they entertain Portugal following that victory in Dublin against the Republic of Ireland. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Portuguese have been totally dominant against Luxembourg winning all of the last 10 meetings between both sides. What’s more, they have scored 34 goals during this period and conceded only one goal.

Can Holtz side do it again?

An unstoppable strike from Gerson Rodrigues proved to be the winner away at the Republic of Ireland. In all of the qualifying campaign they have participated in, their best tally is one victory. As such, we don’t expect them to challenge for the top spots in the group.

There was certainly a lot of controversy in the closing stages of the match in which the Portuguese played against Serbia. Jota’s brace has initially fired them in front with the Serbians levelling matters via goals from Mitrovic and Kostic. In the dying stages of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo put the ball on the back of the net. However, the assistant referee deemed it as no-goal and with no goal-like technology to confirm, it was unfairly judged. In the end, they had to share the spoils with the Serbians.
