passage four? On Tuesday evening (8:45 pm), the Portuguese Seleção will have the opportunity to finish the season in style against Iceland, as part of the fourth day of the qualifiers for Euro 2024.
The Seleção has an idea of continuing its winning streak. After three consecutive victories without conceding a goal since the start of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Roberto Martinez His group will face the Icelandic national team on Tuesday evening. If Portugal can get a full card so far, their evening opponent is struggling in the competition, winning just one of their three meetings.
However, Iceland can be formidable and the new Portuguese coach seems to be aware of that. This Tuesday, the Catalan is unlikely to change his squad entirely, although some changes from the previous match are expected.
Detailed already attached?
Antonio Silva – Robin Dias – Danilo Pereira. These are the three names that seem to have, for the time being, gained the coach’s confidence Roberto Martinez. Keen to create a system with three defenders, the latter can lead the winning trio in order to strengthen their respective mechanics in these new dynamics. despite the existence of babyl Goncalo Inacio or the unexpected Totti Gomezso we can see Roberto Martinez Repeat the match plan applied in the last game, placing the same men in front of the unquestioned player Diogo Costa.
Changing lanes
If the pivot of the center hinge should remain more or less the same, we can nevertheless expect some changes in the lanes. He remained on the bench throughout the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Diogo Dalot They should have the opportunity to speak on the right side, rather than on the right Joao Cancelo. On the other side, Raphael Guerrero He can be renewed as holder for the second time in a row, in the absence of his usual competitor Nuno Mendez.
Her ballet is very uncertain
There should also be a move in the Portuguese midfield. whether Roberto Martinez Seems quite satisfied with the pair of Bruno Fernandez And Joao Ballinha, who also ranked him in each of the three meetings he led on the Portuguese bench, this time must face a new factor. On Monday, on the eve of the match against Iceland, Joao Ballinha They presented some physical problems in training, complaining in particular of a foot injury.
At the moment, it seems that the presence of the Fulham player in the Portuguese starting line-up has been compromised, which could give the opportunity to Ruben Nevis To speak alongside the strong man of the seleção, Bruno Fernandez.
The magic trio up front?
The only certainty as to which team will be pursued Roberto Martinez This Tuesday evening regarding a man: Cristiano Ronaldo. While the two men were present at a press conference on Monday, the coach clearly announced the future term of his captain, who would thus have the chance to play his 200th match under the colors of the Seleção.
To accompany the CR7 up front we must expect, once again, the classic. The author of the opening Saturday evening, Bernardo Silva It will likely find its place on the right, while Joao Felix Once again, he develops alongside his captain.
Possible line-up for Portugal vs Iceland:
De Costa
A. Silva – R. Dias – Danilo
Dalot – B. Fernandes – Neves – Guerreiro
Silva – Ronaldo – J Felix
