Portugal v Chile
Football : World: International Friendly
Venue: Estadio Nacional do Jamor

---

This upcoming clash at the Estadio Nacional do Jamo sees Portugal’s penultimate international friendly in their preparations for the forthcoming World Cup as Selecao manager, Roberto Martinez, puts his plans into place prior to Portugal’s World Cup opener with DR Congo in 11 days time.

Portugal rounded off a successful World Cup qualifying campaign with an emphatic 9-1 home win over Armenia and this resounding victory has been further bolstered by a 0-0 draw against Mexico followed by a 2-0 win over upcoming World Cup hosts, USA.

Overall results have seen the Selecao slip to just one defeat in their last 11 matches which came in the form of a 1-0 loss away at Ireland but nevertheless, Martinez’s side have also collected no fewer than eight wins along the way as well.

Chile meanwhile will not be featuring in this upcoming edition of the World Cup as La Roja endured a disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign in the South American section, finishing rock-bottom of the CONMEBOL table.

With an increase of potential places for a ticket to World Cup 2026 on offer this time around, Chile will be kicking themselves that they couldn’t at least grab 7th place in the standings and an intercontinental play-off spot, but recent results will at least give Nicolas Cordova’s side a bit of a welcome boost.

Indeed, despite ending their qualifying campaign on a six-game winless run, Chile have since registered four wins in their subsequent five matches which includes two 2-1 victories over Peru, a 2-0 win against Russia and a 4-2 home win against Cape Verde.

However, Chile will head into this upcoming international friendly on the back of a surprisingly comprehensive 4-1 beating at the hands of New Zealand in the recent FIFA Series.

The Betting Verdict

Portugal’s depth in attacking personnel should set up a comfortable victory for Roberto Martinez’s side who will be fully focused in producing a morale-boosting victory here.
