Portugal have enjoyed another excellent Nations League campaign, and they could move six points clear at the summit of Group A1 on Friday.
The Portuguese have won three of their four matches in the opening round, and their place in next summer’s quarterfinals has already been assured.
Poland will be looking to join Portugal in the final eight next year, but only a victory for Robert Lewandowski’s team will see them keep up the pressure on Croatia this weekend.
Odds
Portugal will be well supported in the betting this weekend, as they are a -365 chance to claim victory. An away win for Poland is a massive outside chance at +945.
