Spain vs Portugal predictions for this International Friendly clash on Friday at Wanda Metropolitano. Although the match is friendly, it will be a test of both teams’ form before the start of Euro 2020. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Spain
The Spaniards arrive at this match not long after Luis Enrique announced the list of players who will go to Euro 2020. Among the players not called up is Sergio Ramos, who has been struggling with injury and who will be a tough loss for the Spaniards.
Of their last ten matches, Spain have only lost one – against Ukraine in October.
Portugal
Portugal will be hotly anticipating this match as it will probably be their biggest test before the start of Euro 2020.
The Portuguese, currently in a transition period, have a squad full of young players but there are two players who can always be relied on to be called upon: Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe.
Of their last ten matches, Portugal have only lost one – against France in November.
Key Stats
Spain vs Portugal Predictions
The teams are as evenly-matched as ever; one might argue that the Portugal team is slightly stronger, but the match being played in Spain and in front of Spanish fans makes us believe that a draw between the rivals is more than likely.
As this match is an important test before the Euros, we expect an intense atmosphere with both teams paying great attention to their defence. We think this could be a low-scoring game.
