Portugal will host Luxembourg in the Estadio Algarve for the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024 Championship qualifiers in the Group J clash. Portugal will be bidding to strengthen their already-firm grip on the top spot in Group J. Since taking on the helm of affairs, Roberto Martinez’s side has not put any foot wrong. Portugal has picked up 15 points from five matches to lead the section. Currently, they are five points ahead of third-placed Luxembourg. Nevertheless, Luxembourg have also not ended their hopes and is very much in qualification contention at this stage.
Portugal is in stunning form in Euro qualifiers so far. The team won all five matches and is sitting at the top of the Group J table. On top of that Portugal has a very strong defensive line this season. They are yet to concede a goal so far this campaign too. Additionally, they have already sealed a 0-6 win in the reverse fixture, at Luxembourg’s home. Thus, goals are unlikely to land from both ends. The current form of the group leaders looks so impressive. Their tradition against Luxembourg looks stunning too. Naturally, it should not be a tough game for Christiano’s men.
Meanwhile, Luxembourg is bidding to qualify for the finals of a major tournament for the first time in its history. It has been a strong qualification campaign thus far. Indeed, the Red Lions have picked up 10 points from their five matches. This is on the back of a record three wins, one draw and one defeat. Currently, they are level on points with second-placed Slovakia. Luc Holtz’s side will enter this match off the back of a 3-1 victory over Iceland. However, Luxembourg will be under no illusions when it comes to the size of the task facing them on Monday night.
Portugal’s probable starting lineup: Costa, Dalot, A Silva, Dias, Cancelo, Vitinha, Palhinha, Fernandes, B Silva, Ramos, Leao
Luxembourg‘s probable starting lineup: Moris, Pinto, Chanot, Mahmutiovic, Martins, S. Thill, Sanches, V. Thill, Barreiro, Sinani, Curci
