Sweden and Austria will play today in the fifth round of qualification.

Austria is performing confidently in this qualification. So far, the national team has never lost - they have three wins and one draw. Austria shares first place in the group with Belgium.
Sweden has the third place in the group with six points, the team is four points behind the leaders.

This will probably be a crucial match for Sweden. If they can win, they will be only one point behind Austria. But the last time Sweden won a home match against Austria was ten years ago. I don't know if they can do it again today. Austria are probably the real favourites in this game.

Sweden and Austria are two roughly equal teams. I think in this match both teams will fight to the end, they definitely do not want to lose points now. This is especially true for Austria, which has never lost in the qualification for the European Championship. However, Sweden will have an advantage today because they will play at home. I think the fans will help their national team. I bet on Sweden's victory. It will be a very tough match for both teams, no one will be satisfied with a draw.

In fact, in the absence of Ronaldo, who is serving his second yellow card, we will be able to see the potential that exists in the Portugal squad. Moreover, I am curious about the performance of Goncalo Ramos, who in the match will definitely fill the position left by Ronaldo. It is very reasonable if you think that there will be a minimum of 3 goals because of the problems that Portugal has faced since the previous match due to the lack of results from their players' finishing and that is partly caused by Ronaldo who failed to do the job. I don't mean to underestimate Ronaldo, but for a competition like Euro 2024 he is almost finished and I think Portugal will face a deadlock. So coach Roberto Martinez must be braver in replacing Ronaldo in the second half by bringing in players who have the capacity to do the job.

Portugal are less dependent on Cristiano Ronaldo, and that's a good thing for the national team, given that it's only a short time before the player retires
We're sad to be witnessing the end of a legacy, but that's how soccer is, you have to make room for new players and prepare for Euro 2024 and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
By the 2022 World Cup, the player was already losing a bit of space. And I even believe that he could go to Euro 2024 and even the 2026 World Cup, but as the player with the most experience, to come on at the end of the game, give morale to the team, take a few free-kicks etc

And I'm not just talking about that game against Luxemburgo, because that's not a parameter, but in general

In fact, I missed the chance to place my bet on that Portugal game hehehe, so I think I'll do a multiple in victories of Italy, North Macedonia and Norway, with 3.43 odds Cool

Croatia, Wales, Slovakia, Portugal all look like they could win, and Iceland vs Bosnia is a confusing one and I can't really say which one of them will win but I will wager on Bosnia because that feels a bit more possible to me. Lets see how the situation goes, but I believe that it will be fine.

And once again Bosnia managed to disappoint people. I warned another member yesterday that they are simply not consistent enough so even when they are clear favorites I avoid betting on them, let alone on the matches like last night.

Regarding Armenia vs Croatia, it should have finished more than 0-1 but at this time I will take this minimal win. Its very important for us to try win all remaining games as top 5 teams in EURO qualifications will be also top seeded teams in EURO meaning avoiding some tough oponnents.

Today Spain will play another qualifying match for Group A against Cyprus. As we know, Cyprus is currently the only team that is bottom of group A and they have not got a single point from the last 4 matches. Will this time Spain go back to feasting on goals like they did before when they beat Georgia to the ground? We should look forward to it. On the other hand, Lamine Yamal will definitely be a starter again and he will fill his usual place as the right winger.

Portugal destroyed their opponent Luxembourg.Not satisfied with the 4 goals scored in the first half, Portugal scored 5 goals in 6 shots in the second half and managed to score 9 goals in total.We can say that it rained on their opponent as a rain of goals.Thus, Portugal, who made 6/6 in the group, has definitely guaranteed their exit from the group. In the other matches in the group, there were again matches where the hosts were defeated.Iceland managed to defeat Bosnia-Herzegovina with a last minute goal.Bosnia-Herzegovina dominated the match in general, but they failed to find a goal and this cost them a little bit.
Slovakia, on the other hand, won without difficulty against an easy opponent and with this win they moved into 2nd place.

Portugal were cruising against Luxembourg yesterday. Before the game I knew Portugal was going to win. Although Portugal were without Cristiano Ronaldo due to suspension but still produced a hugely impressive display, Bruno Fernandes scoring and providing a hat-trick of assists. Diogo Jota also recorded a brace and an assist. I think they’re a better team with or without Ronaldo.

Italy - Ukraine should be interesting game, it can be decisive game for both teams in fight for 2nd place. Italy looks like favorite, but they're not looking confident in this qualification, while Ukraine again England showed that they're capable to compete with top teams.

This will be quite good to watch because if one of them loses then second place will be very comfortable for the winner.
Currently Italy are still 3 points behind Ukraine but if they win this match then they can be in second place immediately because their goal productivity is better but if the opposite happens and Italy lose this match then they will find it even more difficult to make a breakthrough and the chances of qualifying are getting slimmer with the points difference getting away from England and Ukraine.

I expect something interesting in this match especially for Italy. They have some good players like Tonali, as well as their 4 defenders Dimarco, Bastoni, Mancini and Di Lorenzo but their attacking line is also still not able to perform well. Immobile as the senior player and spearhead of Italy has not been able to make anything interesting so far. Zaniolo also seems to be struggling for Italy which makes them a little difficult in some matches even though they have many chances but their finishing is not very good.

Belgium are still trying as much as they can to be in their best and with what I saw in their last game I think they can make some amends with tonight's game against Estonia.
The visitors Estonia has just a point and I expect Belgium to hit the away team hard and get all 3 points without much stress just to sit at the top of that group but if they (Belgium) fail tonight and Austria manage to beat Sweden then they're going to be at second place and I don't think they want that, so the Belgium team should come all out after all the game is in their favor.

Italy had bad start in this group but it is not strange with them. Even in big tournaments like World Cup and Euro, they usually begin very bad but if they go to knock out phase, they become a more dangerous team with their tactical art Catenaccio.

Italy still have chance to beat Ukraine and take a second position in this group that is enough for them. They don't have to mind too much about England that very likely already take a first position with very good first matches of this group. Italy had a draw against North Macedonia that is a disappointed debut for Spaletti but to assess him better, we need a big match like the one against Ukraine.

Italy must win against Ukraine if they don't want to miss two big tournaments within a few years, World Cup 2022 is a nightmare and they definitely don't want to have another one with Euro 2024.

Luxembourg is a weak team. You can't compare them with top teams such as Portugal, England and France. But it is true that their performance has improved by quite a lot, during the last few years. And now coming to Iceland and Bosnia, these are two teams that are on the decline. A few years back, Iceland surprised everyone when they qualified for the Euro Cup. But during the last 3-4 years, they have been on the decline. And for Bosnia, they have been performing like crap as Edin Džeko is getting old (he is 37 years now).

Lol, nobody isn't talking that they're top level team, but they're not from lowest tier teams like Andorra or San Marino. Many Luxembourg players is plaing for good teams, so, it was difficult to see such brutal Portugal win coming.

Other players such as Goncalo Inacio and Diogo Jota did not want to be outdone by also scoring 2 goals. Well, this is a very good result for Portugal and the next match will take place again later in October.

Goncalo Ramos is better than Joao Felix, the medias are overrating Felix and it make his market value is higher than Ramos.

Those guys are equal at this moment.

- Felix made 2 goals from 4 matches
- Ramos made 2 goals from 3 matches

It's only a slightly different between both but consider ramos's is younger than felix and that his stat is quite impressive. I dunno why those guys (felix and ramos) are not able playing the same in their football clubs.

Quote from: Despairo on September 12, 2023, 12:49:03 AM

I strongly believe Goncalo Inacio will join European club because they have a good ball control and good passing skill, he has show a good contribution in both Sporting and Portugal.

Inacio was good. Is not it sporting CP was european club since it's also based on portugal which was a part of EU?

Inaciao shows good performance against luxembourg by participating in scoring two goals against it. Underrated defender on his age.

LOL.. until this point, Luxembourg was doing pretty OK. They managed to defeat Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland, and managed draw against Slovakia. But Portugal showed no mercy and absolutely destroyed them (still they should be proud of the fact that they have 10 points from 6 matches). And it was nice to see some of the younger Portuguese players performing well in this match. I am talking about Gonçalo Inácio, Gonçalo Ramos, João Félix and Diogo Jota. Qualification is not a worry now for Portugal. They are far ahead of the other teams.

If they managed to beat Iceland and Bosnia and Herzegovina, they could have scored in this game, but they didn't.Portugal played almost alone and destroyed the opponent.I think it's a miracle that Luxembourg got so many points from this group. Their opponents are not easy and in a way they got good points as you said.We can see this match as a proof to give more time to the young players.They are all talented and maybe at the beginning of the road.They seem to be ready now and they can finish in a good place this year.

Luxembourg beat Bosnia and Iceland, so it’s difficult to call them a weak team, but it’s clear that Portugal is too strong a team for them, in two matches they conceded 15 goals from Portugal , this is kind of crazy. And despite this, they still have a chance of qualifying from the group, their main competitor will be Slovakia, with whom they have already played draw first leg, although I have little faith that Luxembourg will be able to do this.

Luxembourg managed to beat Bosnia and Iceland because these two teams were below Portugal and could be said to be not much different from Luxembourg, whereas when they lost to Portugal it was because they faced a team that had quite a difference in strength, only conceding 15 goals in two matches against Portugal quite damaging for Luxembourg but it is still possible for them to qualify because they are behind the Slovakia with a difference of only 3 points.
Roberto Martínez played all of Portugal's young players very well and won with a big score, proving that Portugal has good enough young players to compete in the European Cup later.

For Portugal, this win marks their largest-ever margin of victory. Luxembourg has consistently been an opponent that Portugal dominates, and this is part of the reason why Ronaldo has scored many international goals against them. Although this time Ronaldo was absent, it's likely that if he were on the field, he would have scored at least four goals. However, Portugal's performance in this game wasn't much different their recent match against their opponent.

Joao Felix has a better career than Goncalo Ramos at the same time but after a big transfer to Atletico Madrid, Joao Felix career started to stuck and even became worse with time. He is still young enough to revive his career and after trying in Chelsea, he is trying again in Barcelona. I see Barcelona tactic is good for Joao Felix to show his best than Chelsea and Premier League that are not fitted with a player like Joao Felix.

Goncalo Ramos just moved to PSG that is a biggest club in his career so far. This season is challenging but important for Ramos and if he can prove himself in PSG, his career will step up to a higher level after this season. It will be a good continuation of his surprising success in World Cup 2022.

I already suspected that something like this would definitely happen and the big win with 9 goals made Portugal unbeaten in group H so far. The previous meeting last March, Luxembourg also lost badly to Portugal with 6 goals without reply and even though this happened again, I did not expect that there would be 9 goals scored. Luxembourg is very far from the level compared to Portugal and it's no wonder they couldn't score just 1 goal during the group phase against Portugal.
