Portugal are just one point behind group leaders Serbia, who played one more game. Better, Fernando Santos' men are ten points ahead of Luxembourg, third in the group. In other words, the Portuguese could move up to first place by beating Ireland, but still have to face the Serbs on the final day. Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates are therefore on a favorable waiver, but far from having secured their place in the World Cup. Moreover, all is not rosy for the Seleção. Indeed, the star of Manchester City Bernardo Silva is unfortunately forfeited for the match against the Irish. For their part, the Boys in Green of the Irish selection are already sure of their fate: current fourth in its group, the team will not go to the World Cup in Qatar.Stephen Kenny's men have won only one of their six games in the qualifiers, facing Azerbaijan away. Ireland therefore has only one goal: to finish ahead of the selections of Azerbaijan (current fifth) and Luxembourg (current third with one point more than Ireland).
