Portugal
LWDWWW 📈
Portugal will be looking for a repeat result of a 2-1 International Friendlies success against Nigeria.
For Portugal, the goalscorers were Neto (23') and Francisco Conceição (75'). Akor Adams (37') was the scorer for Nigeria.
Fixtures involving Portugal have usually been absorbing affairs of late with plenty of scoring anticipated. Over their past six games alone, a grand total of 20 goals have gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 15 of these coming from Portugal. That trend might not be continued into this match, of course.
DR Congo
WLWWDL
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Chile in International Friendlies action, DR Congo and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
The only scorer from DR Congo was Joris Kayembe (88'). Lucas Cepeda (52') and Matías Sepúlveda (86') scored for Chile.
A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring DR Congo has been noticeable in recent matches. A glance at their last 6 meetings reveals that it’s happened 5 times. During those clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 3 and DR Congo have scored 7.

Prediction
We’re thinking that Portugal are likely to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
However, DR Congo are also probably going to find it difficult getting goals although we do think it’s probable that they will be getting enough chances to score, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Portugal at the end of the match.
