Portugal vs Slovakia prediction 13.10.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualification
• Date: Friday, 13th October 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Estádio do Dragão (Porto)

Portugal stands among the top teams globally, displaying their prowess as the EURO 2016 champions and are now on the verge of securing their spot in the upcoming European championship. With an impressive total of 18 points from six matches, a victory against Slovakia could guarantee their participation in EURO 2024. Portugal created a remarkable milestone during the previous qualifying round by defeating Luxembourg with a staggering 9-0 scoreline at home. The guests endured a nightmarish experience as Roberto Martinez’s team efficiently converted nearly every goal opportunity, resulting in their largest victory in history.

Having participated in the last two European championships, Slovakia is optimistic about securing a spot in next year’s tournament as well. Following six qualifying rounds, Slovakia managed to accumulate 13 points, placing them three points ahead of Luxembourg, who is next on the table. In their previous four matches, Slovakia emerged victorious in all of them. Notably, in their most recent game, they triumphed with a 3-0 win against Liechtenstein on their home turf. Surprisingly, all three goals were scored within the first six minutes of the game. Despite having the upper hand throughout the rest of the match, Slovakia failed to increase their goal tally.

Portugal vs Slovakia pick: Portugal to win and cover AH -1.5 spread

This group is not worthy of Portugal’s excellence. Throughout six matches, Portugal has achieved a remarkable goal difference of 24:0.

In September, there was a previous head-to-head match between Portugal and Slovakia, where Roberto Martinez’s team emerged victorious with a 1-0 win in Bratislava.

I have high expectations for Portugal to win and beat the AH -1.5 spread on Friday in Porto against Slovakia. They are incredibly talented.
