Portugal national football team take on the visitors Croatia national football team at the Estadio Algarve in a friendly international fixture. The match will be played in Sao Joao da Venda on Thursday, September 6th.
Portugal national football team made a mixed impression for a lot of fans in the main stage of the World Cup. A Selecao das Quinas had looked good in the group stage but were knocked out in the 1/8-Finals fixture by Uruguay national football team immediately after that. The same thing happened to the leader of the team Cristiano Ronaldo who had scored a hat trick in the match against Spain national football team in the group stage but showed nothing in the 1/8-Finals match. By the way, Cristiano will miss the upcoming fixture because of his recent transfer to Juventus and his tough schedule. It is likely that the team of Fernando Santos will play timidly without Ronaldo. Furthermore, Croatia national football team have a better teamwork anyway. In their last three matches Portugal national football team lost to Uruguay national football team with a 1-2 score, drew against Iran national football team with a 1-1 score and beat Morocco national football team with a 1-0 score.

Talking about the Vatreni they have won the silver in the main stage of the World Cup this summer. Even though they probably have not achieved their best shape yet the team of Zlatko Dalic will have most of their key players in the squad for the upcoming fixture. Their captain Luka Modric has won the UEFA Player of the Year award recently, their key midfielder Rakitic has demolished Huesca playing for Barcelona in La Liga, their key attacker Perisic has been trying to get Internazionale going in the Serie A along with his Croatian teammate Sime Vrsaljko. In their last three matches Croatia national football team lost to France national football team with a 2-4 score, beat England national football team with a 2-1 score and Russia national football team with a 3-2 score.
It will be hard for Croatia national football team to rehabilitate from their painful loss in the final match of the World Cup. However, most of their key players will take part in the upcoming fixture while Portugal national football team will not have Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad. It is likely that the Vatreni will not lose in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Croatia national football team to win with 0 handicap.
