Before Betting On Portugal vs Slovakia  

It has been an exciting campaign of matches in Group J, but we are edging closer to finding out which nations will secure their spots at the EUROs next year. The first spot in this group could be secured on Friday, as Portugal can earn their spot in the major tournament next year if they are able to pick up victory against Slovakia. The former champions will also secure their spot if they draw and Luxembourg fall to a defeat.

Portugal have been perfect throughout qualification, as they have landed victories in each of their six matches. Their perfection throughout the campaign is evident from the fact that they have scored a remarkable 24 goals, and they have failed to concede a single effort in response.

Slovakia are likely the only nation that could finish above of Portugal in the standings, as they sit five points behind their European rivals. They come into this fixture in decent enough form, as they have won four of their six qualifying matches. Their only defeat was suffered in the reverse fixture, as Portugal landed a narrow win.

However, they bounced back to winning ways following that defeat with a fine win against Liechtenstein in the most recent international break. But, their main aim remains a second place finish in the standings, which could make for a thrilling finish in Group J, as they currently sit just three points above of Luxembourg.
