I think Macedonia has 0 chance to do again the miracle against Portugal, you cant be so lucky two times in a row.

Portugal have Cristiano Ronaldo a blessed player, so if things go wrong lucky smiles to Cristiano with a penalty or a gift from the Macedonian players.

I agree with you, but nobody believed in a miracle either when Macedonia won away against Italy, scoring a goal in the final minutes... If you look at the head-to-head encounters between Portugal and Macedonia, you can see that Portugal did not win them that easily... Once they won with a minimum score of 1-0, and the second time it was a 0-0 draw without goals... So I wouldn't be 100% sure that Portugal will definitely win... Italy took 32 shots and failed to score a single goal! Let's see what happens today... Wink

Portugal will always be the big favorite to win against Macedonia but never say never. Macedonia already stunted against Italy and they can do it again. Portugal relies almost 100% on Ronaldo and nobody knows what will happen if he gets injured early in the match.
Beating italy was one of the unexpected surprises from macedonia and many people thought it was a fortune, but I actually saw if macedonia played smarter in facing a stronger team like italy, having a solid and tight defense of course would be a mainstay  Macedonia to facing Portugal in the match, I think even though Portugal is a specialist team in qualifying for the play-offs so far, I doubt that they will easily win especially if the Macedonian players manage to lock up and stop Ronaldo movement in that match.

Portugal is the favorite of the Portugal-Macedonia. But it is necessary to pay attention to Macedonia.
Great chance Portugal can overcome Macedonia tonight. But Macedonia is a great team that can make it difficult for other teams to face them. Victory over Italy boosted Macedonia's enthusiasm to qualify for the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo will also use the match against Macedonia as a means of proving that he is able to pass Portugal so that he will also get a new record.

Northern Macedonia will have a much tougher time against Portugal. The Portuguese are forewarned after the Italy game. Italy was too arrogant for long stretches of the game because they didn't take their opponent seriously. North Macedonia had only one shot on goal before extra time, while Italy had almost a dozen good chances. I think Portugal analyzed the Italy game well and knows how to play the North Macedonians to win.
Like Cristiano Ronaldo statement when asked by the media about Portugal chances of going to the World Cup. The Manchester United star says "there is no world cup without Portugal". source

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo statement is a sentence that will make Portuguese players to be optimistic not to underestimate Macedonia, which will be their opponent. On the other hand, Ronaldo statement illustrates that Portugal prioritizes teamwork and not individuals. If so, then I believe that Macedonia will fail to qualify. But we'll see how it turns out later.

Its doesnt matters because when you are lucky all the things around you have the same vibes.
You need an example?
You remember the Eurocup final..... Cristiano didnt play and he have so much luck his team wins with a player of B category making a goal from another universe to give a Cristiano a BIG title.

Poland to win, likewise Portugal also to win, I don't see Poland standing a chance in defeating Portugal, if eventually they win Portugal, then I would not consider it to be a luck, it means that they were not lucky when they defeated Italy, I want to see Ronaldo play in the world Cup hopefully Portugal wins

Italy's defeat against North Macedonia will be endless to talk about, as North Macedonia is very surprising as North Macedonia's record is unbeaten in last five away matches in 2022 World Cup qualifiers, four wins and one draw. And more surprisingly won four of their last five away games, two of them against two of the best teams in the world Germany and Italy.
and Portugal must not underestimate North Macedonia because this is their life and death match to qualify for the Qatar 2022 world cup, and must play as much as possible by fielding their best squad to beat North Macedonia and I hope Ronaldo scores.


I think Mecadonia came with enthusiasm and did not give up, I think Mecadonia played without the slightest burden because they were not the underdog team, this is a mental advantage in my opinion, if our team is not seeded in a match, when the players leave without their burden will give you more energy and full of enthusiasm.
On the Portuguese side, I think they will play carefully and with the burden they are carrying, this is certainly a mental problem for the players. And usually if players have a high load this will affect their own game.
It's worth waiting for a surprise from mecadonia this time.

This match will be eye catching, some of us are wondering how this match will end and what will North Macedonia do
Portugal as favourites shouldn't underestimate North Macedonia as they made a few surprises
in an important match like this something unexpected can happen as usual luck can help any of them.

Of course, Italy's defeat is still being talked about, because the one who beat Italy was North Macedonia whose squad was almost entirely mediocre.
Even I don't know the majority of North Macedonian players. In contrast to Italy which is dominated by players who have very good quality,
even the Italian squad's reserve players are far above North Macedonian players in quality. So Italy's defeat of North Macedonia is like a fairy tale,
the meaning is truly shocking and very difficult for logic to accept. If we look at North Macedonia's performance since playing in Group J with Germany,
North Macedonia already gave a surprise by beating Germany in his own home. Although Germany at that time played all its main players,
unexpectedly North Macedonia humiliated Germany in front of its own supporters.

Therefore Portugal should not underestimate North Macedonia, since for North Macedonia they are only one step away from the 2022 World Cup,
it is certain that the game will be quite tough. Because for the two teams the Path C play-off final match was like life and death. Neither Portugal
nor North Macedonia will put out the best form they have. Hopefully Ronaldo can score a goal in that match and lead Portugal to beat North Macedonia
to reach the 2022 World Cup, which is likely to be Ronaldo's last World Cup.

One step closer for North Macedonia to make new history of his participant on FIFA World Cup in Qatar because life and die match against with Portugal will give one spot to North Macedonia will play on world cup. I think North Macedonia keep playing with defensive style like showed when defeating Italy, but I think Portugal have many potential player could created attempt to make goal out penalty kick from Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Jota, Bruno Fernandez until Bernando Silva. Looks hard when get defensive game play with against team have specialist with scoring goal out penalty kick area.

But the defensive style only worked because Italy didn't take its chances. I watched the game and after 10 minutes Italy already had three good chances. I remember that I thought that this will give a clear result for Italy and will North Macedonia go down. In the end it turned out differently, but not so much because of the good defensive work as because of the missed chances of the Italians.
Will give chance for against team when adopting with defensive style games play because got moment when counter attack and all player from Italy is not ready back to defensive area, I think North Macedonia just take one player as central forward how to build with counter attack and take decision to make shot out penalty box. Although have risk with getting pressure almost 90 minutes but North Macedonia success make all Italy player frustrating how to get North Macedonia defensive, I think will work for second chance when against with Portugal but keep have big risk when against team full pressure.

The hosts seem to be the clear favorite in the Portugal - North Macedonia match, but I thought the same before the Macedonians' match with Italy a few days ago... Knowing the result of that rivalry, the Portuguese will certainly not underestimate their rivals. I bet that today there will be no surprise and Portugal will win with a handicap of -1.5

I don't know what happened to Italy when they lost to Northern Macedonia, but I don't think the Macedonians' luck will be repeated today against Portugal. Although they have repeatedly played unpredictably, beating Germany away and now Italy as well. Maybe Portugal will also lose? But personally, I don't believe it. Otherwise it will be another sensation.
The lucky victory obtained by Macedonia, which managed to prevent Italy from qualifying for the world cup for the second time in a row, in the match between Italy and Macedonia actually Mancini fielded an emergency player, because the players who won Italy in the European championships were injured, maybe this too is one of Italy's defeats against Macedonia, sometimes big countries often experience pressure when facing countries that are not superior, as happened to the German national team in the past, they were surprisingly defeated by South Korea with a score of 2-0.

It is still difficult to accept the fact that Italy failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup because they were defeated by North Macedonia. I think
North Macedonia's luck was pretty big against Italy, but it looks like North Macedonia's luck won't be repeated against Portugal. After all,
Portugal saw Italy's defeat as a lesson for them to be more careful when facing North Macedonia. Although most people agree Portugal can beat
North Macedonia, but in football nothing is certain, anything can happen. So even though many people predict Portugal will beat North Macedonia
easily, surprises can still happen, therefore the Portugal vs North Macedonia match is very interesting to watch. We'll see if North Macedonia can survive
by Portugal's attack and take advantage of the counter-attack like they beat Italy, or Portugal could use its players who have good individual skills
to score goals and beat North Macedonia. We will find out the answer in a few hours, because Portugal vs North Macedonia is about to start.

In general, Northern Macedonia did not have a difficult group, with the exception of Germany, which they also managed to beat once, the other opponents were very weak. But the fact that, because of Northern Macedonia, Italy are missing out on the World Cup for the second time, being the current European champion, is really very hard to believe. I'm sure the Portuguese are praying right now.

I strongly feel that Portugal will win because of Ronaldo, as it’s possibly his last chance of playing at the World Cup and therefore he’ll bring his best game against North Macedonia. Also another positive factor for Portugal is that they have a superior squad and that should give them a psychological advantage over North Macedonia, and lastly I’m being biased but I want to see Ronaldo play his last possible World Cup, hence I’m rooting for a Portugal win.

Sometimes the unexpected happens and I hope something like this happens again in today's match for North Macedonia, as I said before if this actually happened it would be a big history. A team that was certainly underestimated before but who would have thought, North Macedonia could even get rid of the Euro 2020 and 2016 champions. If we analyze and predict then of course North Macedonia doesn't have any chance at this moment, but I really hope that surprises happen again even though indeed, above paper it seems very unlikely to happen.

no one thought that Italy had to lose its place in the world cup because it lost against North Macedonia. Of course, people don't think because there are many factors favored in Italy such as the defending European Cup champion and great players who strengthen the great clubs in the world.
Macedonia qualified because they were lucky, because during the match, Italy won in everything from shots to ball possession.
i was very favorite to italy in almost every world cup, but they were unlucky for the second time (didn't make it through to the world cup). against Portugal later, I'm sure the Macedonian squad have a great spirit because they managed to get rid of a team as big as Italy, Macedonia is really very lucky.
Portugal certainly knows how passionate Macedonia is to qualify for the World Cup after they made it to the final qualifying stage after eliminating the UEFA Euro 2020 Champions.
Portugal is looking at the match against Macedonia with great enthusiasm. The Portuguese coach will set the strategy and try to prevent his players from making the slightest mistake and take the slightest opportunity to score a goal because Portugal is aware that Macedonia can prevent Portugal from qualifying.
