Portugal vs Luxembourg Odds

Portugal is the favorite sitting at -1800 while Luxembourg is the underdog sitting at +3500. The total sits at 3.5 goals with the over paying out at -120. 

Portugal Betting Preview

Portugal currently sits in 1st place in the group having picked up 15 points. On Friday, Portugal faced off against Slovakia and they were able to secure the 1-0 victory. Bruno Fernades scored in the 43rd minute and that was the difference. Portugal had 57 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. Portugal could start close to the same lineup as they played on Friday. Cristiano Ronaldo picked up a yellow card in the last game and he’s going to have to miss this game now. 

Luxembourg Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is Luxembourg who currently sit tied for second place having picked up 10 points. On Friday, Luxembourg scored three goals against Iceland and that was enough to secure the 3-1 victory. The first goal came from Maxime Charnot in the 9th minute. They added two more goals after the 70th minute and that was the difference. Daniel Sinani has been impressive during the Euro Qualifiers and he’s going to play a big role in this game. In this game, Luxembourg is going to need the defense to step up and make life tough on the Portugal offense. 

Shane’s Free Pick

This total is too high. Portugal only scored one goal in the lasst game and Luxembourg knows to have a chance in this game they are going to need the defense to step up. I also don’t see Luxembourgh getting many scoring chances in this game, and that will be the difference here as this game stays under the total. Back the under.
