Accurate football betting predictions for weekend games
Portugal will try to bounce back when they face Denmark in a second leg from the Nations League 1/4-finals on Sunday. The Danish team won the first game by 1-0, but now Selecao are eager to strike back. Let’s preview it in these Accurate football betting predictions for weekend games.
Portugal were favorites in Copenhagen, but Denmark proved that they are not a team to mess with. Manchester United’s striker Rasmus Højlund scored the only goal in the game. Højlund came in as a substitute and used an assist from Skov Olsen – another subsitute, to score the winning goal. We can say that Brian Riemer’s substitutions in the game were just brilliant.
Now Riemer must decide if he’s about to use Rasmus Højlund as a starter after his winner on Thursday night. In the first leg he used Monaco’s sensation Mika Biereth, who was replaced by Højlund.
Portugal’s manager Roberto Martinez is analysing what went wrong against Denmark in the first leg. In the second half in Copenhagen he made changes, but the inclusion of Bernardo Silva, Ruben Neves and Nelson Semedo didn’t change the game. Meanwhile Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and Milan’s Joao Felix remained unused subs.
We don’t think that Martinez will make many changes in his starting eleven despite the loss. The veteran Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to lead the attack again, supported by Rafa Leao, Bruno Fernandes and Pedro Neto. What he could eventually do here is pick Diogo Jota from the bench – Liverpool’s striker remains a very dangerous player. And why not Joao Felix? He’s a creative player who could cause a lot of problems in attack.
That’s the Accurate soccer predictions for weekend games for the Nations League clash between Portugal and Denmark. The Danish side have a goal advantage, but it remains a dangerous game for them – Portugal will give their all to progress in the tournament.
