EVENT ENDED!

Portugal will be confident that history will continue to repeat itself against Cyprus, as the visitors have lost all but one game against this particular foe since 1972.

Match Preview

Ahead of our Portugal vs Cyprus preview, the hosts have won all but one of their recent World Cup qualifying games, despite a 3-2 friendly loss against Sweden putting a dampener on things.

  • Faroe Islands 0-6 Portugal
  • Portugal 4-1 Latvia
  • Portugal 3-0 Hungary
  • Portugal 2-3 Sweden

Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe have both been included in Fernando Santos’ squad, despite both Real Madrid players still having yet to feature in their team’s Champions League final climax.

In their previous four competitive matches, the Selecao have conceded just one goal, influencing our Portugal vs Cyprus predictions as a direct result.

  • Bosnia 2-0 Cyprus
  • Cyprus 3-1 Gibraltar
  • Cyprus 3-1 Kazakhstan
  • Cyprus 0-0 Estonia

Portugal vs Cyprus Prediction and Betting Advice

Cyprus may have won two and drawn one of their last three games, but Portugal’s quality is a huge step up from the likes of Estonia and Gibraltar. On their travels, they should struggle.

As the away side last won away from home back in 2015, it seems to be a fairly safe bet that our Portugal vs Cyprus picks will come in.
