Portugal have kept six clean sheets in their six Group J games so far and are on track for the rare feat of qualifying without conceding.
They host low-scoring Slovakia who sit second in the group despite only scoring eight goals. Half of those have come in two games against Liechtenstein so a seventh win to nil for the Portuguese at 5/6 looks a good option.
In the same group, Luxembourg pose the biggest condundrum of all in Euro 2024 qualifying. They’ve shipped 15 goals across two games to Portugal (0-9 & 0-6) but have conceded just once in their other four, picking up an impressive 10 points from a possible 12 to leave themselves just three points off a qualifying place with four games to play.
Tonight they’re in Iceland, whom they beat 3-1 at State de Luxembourg last month. Their hosts are on six points after six games thanks to wins over Liechtenstein and Bosnia & Herzegovina and look to be shadow of the side we saw make a huge impact at Euro 2016.
If, as expected, Slovakia lose in Portugal this evening, a win for Luxembourg would draw them level on points with the Slovaks ahead of a crucial clash in the grand duchy on Monday. So plenty to play for and at 7/2 they could be a lively outsider tonight.
Match of the night is in Amsterdam where the top two in Group B meet. France thumped the Netherlands in the opening match of the group so revenge will be in the air for the Dutch.
It’s not a vintage era for the Dutch and if the French bring their A-game they can put a big dent in the Clockwork Oranges’ qualification hopes with a win at 5/4.
Unbelievably, after four defeats in five, Republic of Ireland can still qualify for the finals but they’re surely just playing for pride in Group B now.
They’ve fallen to narrow defeats to France (0-1) and the Netherlands (1-2) in Dublin but should be capable of avenging a 2-1 defeat to Greece back in June.
