The Portuguese team has not been able to win a single match in the UEFA Euro Qualifiers. Can CR7 and Co. change that against Serbia?

What has been Serbia and Portugal's form in the 2020 UEFA Euro Qualifiers?

This will be Serbia's fourth clash in the UEFA Euro Qualifiers, with no clear indication on their form. The Serbians drew their first match against Portugal, and then went on to lose against Ukraine with a 5-0 score. Their last match ended in a 4-1 win against Lithuania, which gives them a bit of hope for the next games in the group.

On the other side of the pitch, Portugal will get to this game on a six-match streak without a loss. Four of those games ended in draws, but their two most recent matches gave CR7 and Co. the first UEFA Nations League title in history, as they defeated Switzerland and the Netherlands back in June.

What is Serbia and Portugal's position in Group B of the 2020 UEFA Euro Qualifiers?

Serbia gets to this clash in third place of Group B, having won only four points out of nine they've played for. The Serbians have the same amount of points as Luxembourg, but their worse goal differential saw them slip to third place.

Portugal is currently ranked fourth in Group B, but there seems to be hope for Cristiano and Co, as they have only been involved in two games so far. This will be the first away game for A Seleccao das Quinas in the 2020 UEFA Euro Qualifiers, with both of their previous draws taking place on Portuguese soil.

Serbia vs Portugal - Head to head

  • This will be the 11th game between Serbia and Portugal.

  • Portugal has won five of their eight games against Serbia.

  • Serbia has only won two of their previous games against Portugal.

  • The previous game between these teams in the UEFA Euro Qualifiers ended in a 1-1 draw.

  • Portugal won the two UEFA Euro Qualifying matches between these teams back in 2015. Curiously, both of them ended with a 2-1 score.

Serbia vs Portugal - Who's in and who's out?

Serbia will have a full squad to choose from for this game, as they have no confirmed injuries or suspensions to any of their top players.

Portugal has only confirmed Pepe as an injury absence for this game. The center back will leave his spot on the lineup for either Jose Fonte and Ruben Dias. Another option for coach Fernando Santos would be to give Ferro a starting nod.
