Portugal has won their last eight meetings with Luxembourg, scoring 29 goals and conceding only once. Defending champions Portugal will host Luxembourg at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, Lisbon, in the continued EURO 2020 Qualification Group B, Saturday (10/12/2019). In the other party, Ukraine will host Lithuania.
Portugal had through its first two games in this group with a draw at home, namely entertaining Ukraine and Serbia. In the last international break, in September 2019, Portugal successfully won their first two wins.
Portugal won 4-2 at home to Serbia with goals from William Carvalho, Goncalo Guedes, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Bernardo Silva. After that, Fernando Santos’ troops silenced the Lithuanian host, in which Carvalho contributed a goal, and Ronaldo bought up four.
In his last fight, Luxembourg bent the Serbian guests 1-3. One David Turpel goal in that match was not enough to spare Luxembourg from defeat.
Next, three days ago, Portugal will play away against league leaders Ukraine. In the other party, Lithuania will host Serbia.
