Under head coach Roberto Martínez, Portugal have been in impressive form in the ongoing UEFA Nations 2024-25 and have already qualified for the quarter-finals.

Portugal will head into the game brimming with confidence after they thrashed Poland 5-1 at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto, Portugal.

Captain Cristiano Ronaldo netted a brace while Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes and Pedro Neto to guide Portugal to a huge win.

Having registered four wins and one draw, Portugal have already sealed the top spot in the group with 13 points from five games.

Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn scored the match-winning goal for Scotland in the 86th minute to secure a massive victory against Croatia.

First-choice goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic and forward Ante Budimir will return for this crucial clash after they were suspended in their defeat against Scotland.

However, the hosts will miss the services of their midfielder Petar Sucic after he received a red card in their previous game.

Kristijan Jakić is also doubtful for the game after picking up an injury in their last match.

Having secured the top spot in the group, Portugal could make a few changes in the starting XI. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and Pedro Neto could be rested for this game.

Portugal are yet to lose in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 edition and are currently on top of Group A1 with 10 points following three wins and a draw after the first four rounds. 

Meanwhile, Poland are third in the group with four points after a win, two losses and a draw.

The Portuguese started their UEFA Nations League 2024-25 campaign with identical 2-1 victories over Croatia and Scotland in their first two rounds in September. 

The Cristiano Ronaldo-led side made it three wins in a row after beating Poland 3-1 away from home.

Portugal step into this contest after a goalless draw at Scotland in their fourth-round match last month. They need a solitary point from the remaining two rounds to seal their entry into the knockout stage of the current Nations League campaign.

Ronaldo has been in good form for Portugal up front, finding the target three times from the first four rounds of the competition. Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot have also scored a goal apiece.

However, they will travel to Porto with the confidence of a hard-earned 3-3 draw against Croatia having trailed 3-1 early in the match.

The last two rounds of the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 will be very crucial for Poland as they need maximum points to have any chance of making it to the next stage. 

In case Poland fails to win against Portugal and Croatia beat Scotland, then it will be the end of the road for the Robert Lewandowski-led side.

Ahead of the 2009-10 season, Real Madrid acquired his services for a world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (�4 million).

Ronaldo repaid their faith as he became one of the greatest galacticos to have played for Los Blancos.

Between 2009 and 2018, Ronaldo netted an astonishing 450 goals in 438 matches across all competitions. He finished as Real Madrid’s all-time top goalscorer.

Later in July 2018, the Portuguese star signed a four-year contract with Juventus, the most decorated club in Italy.

Ronaldo continued his impressive goalscoring record for the Old Lady as he registered 101 strikes in 134 matches.

In 2021, Ronaldo made an emotional return to Manchester United for a brief second spell before signing for his current club Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League in December 2022.

Even in Asia, the Madeira-born footballer showcased his brilliant goalscoring capabilities as he scored 14 goals in his debut season. 

Ronaldo continued his dream run as he scored 54 goals for club and country, which made him the outright leading scorer in 2023.
