THE PREDICTION

The Republic of Ireland head to Estádio Do Algarve in a sorry state, pointless in Group A with a 0-1 home defeat to Luxembourg last time out, arguably one of the worse results in their footballing history. Since then, Stephen Kenny’s side have gone unbeaten in their following three friendly matches with victory over Andorra achieved either side of draws to Qatar and Hungary. Portugal though, represent far superior opposition to those teams and the Cristiano Ronaldo led hosts are expected to triumph comfortably by at least two clear goals.
