Good afternoon and welcome to the second day of group 2 of the Nations League, competition that serves as an appetizer to open our mouths for the World Cup in Qatar that will begin in November. In an hour, at the same time as the match in Spain, the Portugal-Switzerland which will be played at the José Alvalade stadium in Lisbon. Both teams will seek to achieve what will be their first victory in this edition of the Nations League. The Portuguese team drew (1-1) against Spain, while the Swiss fell defeated (2-1) on their visit to Prague.
Today’s match will be played in a talisman stadium for the portuguese national team. They have only lost two of the twelve games they have played in the Lisbon fiefdom. Murat Yakin’s men will try to break this streak and get revenge for what happened in the semifinals of the first edition of the tournament. That day, a hat-trick by Cristiano Ronaldo unbalanced the game in favor of the Portuguese.
Players to watch: In the Portuguese team stands out the Ricardo Horta’s irruption. Scorer in the draw against Spain, the Braga player has had the best season of his career this season. The 22 goals scored in all competitions have opened the doors of the senior team for the first time.
On the Swiss side, Noah Okafor stands out.. He scored the honor goal against the Czech Republic and, like Horta, this season has also been the best of his career. Great duel that will take place tonight at the José Alvalade between two teams in need of a win.
