Main Match Prediction
We’ll plump for Wales +2, especially when you consider the odds of -122. It allows us to bank a return if the underdogs are able to perform better than expectations for this Nations League clash.
Key stats supporting our main match prediction (competitive matches):
Team news is very useful and our football tipsters are keen to identify the players who are doubtful with injury. You’ll also find us studying the form guide, with lots of Nations League data available which provides a clear picture from the stats.
The betting odds at the top bookies suggest our pick carries a 54.9% chance of winning. Our experts think there’s a stronger chance of success and calculate the probability to be closer to 60%. It is therefore regarded as a value bet.

Correct Score Prediction

0
Wales
We’ve found an attractive bet at odds of +600 and it involves Portugal winning 1-0. We like a wager on correct score as there’s the chance to bank a bigger return.
Player Prop Picks
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) is available to cover the shots on goal total at +115. All things considered, we think that the betting odds are really appealing when it comes to backing him on the Shots Target market.
Bruno Fernandes (Portugal) has racked up three goals in his past five games on home soil. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at +175 which will hopefully see him find the net.

Corners Prediction
In their past ten matches, Wales have covered the 3.5 corners line, while the last three Portugal games have involved them conceding over 3.5 corners. If you agree with our verdict that the Wales Team Corners line is too low, go for odds of +102 that they go over.
