Portugal and Latvia enter this fixture in opposite form
Portugal did not begin their qualifying campaign well, losing their opening game to Switzerland. Captain Cristiano Ronaldo was unavailable due to injury, sparking debate if they are a one-man team that fails miserably in the three-time Ballon d’Or winner’s absence.
However, they have bounced back since that defeat – coincidentally, a return to form that coincided with Cristiano’s return. Since the opening day loss, they Euro 2016 winners have won back-to-back games, scoring six in both victories.
Both wins also saw Rui Patricio clinch clean sheets, as first Andorra and then the Faroe Islands couldn’t penetrate Portugal’s goal. Those two results left Fernando Santos’ crew in second, yet still three points behind leaders Switzerland.
Thus is the importance of beating Latvia at home. Luckily for them, the away side enter this fixture on the back of a string of poor results. Sarkanbaltsarkanie are without victory in their last two games, with their sole win coming courtesy of their opening game.
Switzerland take on Faroe Islands, meaning a slip up from the table-toppers could see Portugal overtake them on goal difference, or slash their lead to a single point.
