Liechtenstein vs Portugal odds
Ranked 200th in the world, Liechtenstein have sprung absolutely no surprises in Group J so far, losing all eight of their matches by a 25-1 combined scoreline. Overall, the Blue-Reds are enduring a run of 33-game winless streak that includes 21 consecutive defeats, with the likes of Andorra, Latvia, Moldova and Gibraltar among those to have beaten them over the past couple of years.
As for Portugal, they’ve been equally unsurprising but for completely different reasons. The sixth-highest-ranked nation in the world, A Seleção das Quinas have eight wins from eight by 32-2 combined scoreline in a run that includes 9-0 and 6-0 wins over Luxembourg and a 4-0 victory over Thursday’s hosts which, in the context of the aforementioned results of these two teams, seems rather modest. Portugal are already qualified and will be simply using this match to give players a run-out and run up an even more impressive goal difference.
