Spain vs Portugal predictions

Spain is on a four-game winning streak in the UEFA Nations League against Portugal. They've only lost once in Spain since October 2018, and they'll be optimistic of a win on Thursday.

After being obliged to qualify for the World Cup through the playoffs, Portugal accomplished so with surprising ease, defeating Turkey and North Macedonia to claim a seat in Qatar 2022.

The last four encounters between these two have finished in a tie, and the trend appears to be continuing.

Prediction: Spain 1-1 Portugal
