Portugal takes on the visitors Egypt at “Letzigrund Stadion” in a friendly clash. The game will be played in Zurich on Friday, March 23rd.
Portugal has achieved the greatest success in its history in form of the champion’s title of the EURO 2016 mainly because of its rock-solid defense. However, the team concedes much in the friendly tackles. For example, in 2017 “A Seleccao” conceded three goals in the fight against Sweden and in the latest unofficial battle against USA it swopped with the goals. In total, 21 goals were scored in last five friendlies with the participation of Portugal. At the same time basing on the same recent statistics, the side’s attacking players as always effective and creative which should become a huge problem for the upcoming visitors which usually struggle against fast and artful opponents.

In their turn, Egypt which has promoted at last to the final stage of the major football tournament of the world can also boast with a magnificent offense. Three main strikers of the side have scored 41 goals already in the tough Turkish Super Lig, uncomfortable Portuguese Primeira Liga and the strongest football division of the world – English Premier League. The unbelievable Mohamed Salah has scored 35 goals already in all competitions of this season where it had performed with his Liverpool. Moreover, the player recorded 12 goals in 10 recent games for the club and three goals in three latest matches for the A-team.
The Egyptians conceded in six out of seven last official encounters in all the tournaments. The side has some problems in defense which must be solved before the final stage of the Mundial, otherwise, Egypt will have to lay all their hopes on the attack and I believe they will choose the second variant in the forthcoming head-to-head against Portugal which means there is a reason to expect for an open football with a bulk of scored goals.
Summing up all the factors listed above as well as taking into account the unofficial status of the matchup, I expect for quite an interesting game this Friday.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
