Portugal reached the quarterfinals of the last European Championship, but it seemed like they didn't show their best. They started promisingly with two wins, but then failed to score in their remaining three matches. It remains to be seen whether they will perform better now in the Nations League, where they beat Croatia twice in 2020, including a 4-1 win at home. Cristiano Ronaldo was not part of the squad in that victory, but now he is available.
Croatia lost its shineRecently, Croatia has lost its shine. This was evident at the European Championship this summer, where they did not win a single game and were eliminated in the group stage. Just before that, Croatia surprised Portugal with a 2-1 away win, but in a friendly match. So, even now, the Croatians are not to be underestimated.
Prediction: Portugal to win, both teams to scoreThere is room for improvement for both teams, but I still think they are capable of scoring at least one goal each against each other again. As for the winner, I would definitely choose Portugal.
