Portugal takes on the visitors Chile at “Kazan Arena” in the semi-final of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. The game will be played in Kazan on Wednesday, June 28th.
The Portuguese come up to the forthcoming clash with five-match undefeated streak. Last time the side lost on the 28th of March 2017. Concerning the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, the Lusitans picked up seven points with 7-2 goal difference and won the Group A. The Portuguese recorded 2:2 draw against Mexico and two triumphs over the Group’s outsiders: 1:0 vs. Russia and 4:0 vs. New Zealand.

Alike to their rival, the Chileans also have not been beaten yet in Russia: they broke Cameroon with 2:0 scoreline and got two draws against Germany and Australia with the same 1:1 scoreline. As a result, Chile finished the Group Stage at the second place in the Group B standings with five points earned and 4-2 goal difference.
The Europeans and the South Americans have met twice already. The Portuguese have won the first head-to-head at the Olympic Games with 4:2 scoreline on the 27th of May 1928 and the second one was played recently, on the 26th of March 2011, resulting in 1:1 draw. At the current tournament both teams scored in each of their three games conducted. I believe that in the semi-final the opponents will also tend to win basing on the effective play in offense, but not in defense. Thus, the spectators may expect for at least a couple of scored goals in the upcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
