Portugal will be the leading contender to top Group J, and they will have a comfortable opening matchup on Thursday when they take on Liechtenstein. [banner][/banner]    

EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview

A new era gets underway in Portugal this week, as Roberto Martinez takes charge of Portugal for the first time in Lisbon. The former Belgium boss took over as the national team coach after Fernando Santos was dismissed after Portugal’s shock exit at the hands of Morocco in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. There were eyebrows raised when Martinez was appointed, as the former Everton boss was in charge of Belgium as they crashed out in the group stage in Qatar. However, there’s little doubt that Portugal remain one of the standout nations in Europe, and few would be surprised to see them add to the EURO glory that they achieved in 2016. One of the biggest shock inclusions in the recently named squad was Cristiano Ronaldo, who many believed was on the cusp of announcing his international retirement following the dismissal of Santos.  Unsurprisingly, Liechtenstein will be among the outsiders to reach EURO 2024, as they have never previously competed at a major international tournament. In fact, in qualifiers since 1996, the nation has won just five matches from 68 fixtures. They also come into this qualifying campaign after having failed to win a single match in six Nations League fixtures in Division D last year.  Their most recent outing came in November, as they were beaten 2-0 away from home by Gibraltar. It would take a heroic effort on Thursday to see them picking up at least a point from this opening qualifying match in Portugal.

Portugal vs Liechtenstein Head to Head

There have been seven previous clashes between these two sides, with Liechtenstein yet to register a victory. Portugal has won on six previous occasions, including each of the previous two. Their most recent success came in the form of a 3-0 win in a friendly in August 2009. 

Portugal vs Liechtenstein Prediction 

This should be one of the more straightforward matches that Portugal will face in qualification. We expect them to run out comfortable winners in this first match under Martinez, and we could see Bruno Fernandes finding the net in a 3-0 win.

It promises to be a thrilling Group F campaign as teams battle for vital points to ensure their progression through to EURO 2024. Austria will be one of the leading contenders to finish in the top two places, and they kick off their campaign against Azerbaijan on Friday evening.

    

EURO 2024 Qualifier Preview

Austria will once again be among the leading contenders to finish in one of the top two positions in EURO qualification. However, they will need a better campaign than they managed when trying to reach the World Cup in Qatar, as they managed to picked up just five wins from eleven games, as they missed out on a place in the World Cup for the sixth straight edition of the tournament.

However, they have managed to reach the EUROs more frequently throughout their modern history, as they have competed at the event in three of the previous four editions. Their best ever showing at the EUROs came in the 2020 event, as they reached the round of 16 after winning two of their four matches. Austria comes into this qualification campaign after winning one of their six matches in Division A of the Nations League last year.

Azerbaijan should come into the qualifying campaign in good spirits, as they have won each of their last three international fixtures. Their most recent win was a 3-1 success away from home against North Macedonia. However, they are yet to qualify for the EUROs as a single nation.

In the previous qualifying round for the EUROs, they failed to pick up a single victory from eight matches. However, their Nations League performances from last season could offer some hope, as they won three from six games to finish second in Division C3.

Austria vs Azerbaijan Head to Head

Austria has gone four matches without defeat against Azerbaijan, picking up three wins over that period. However, their most recent victory was picked up over ten years ago, as Austria landed a 4-1 in October 2011. Azerbaijan’s only point against Austria came in the form of a 0-0 draw in September 2005.

Austria vs Azerbaijan Prediction

Austria has been in disappointing recent form, but they always appear to have a habit of making it out of EURO qualification. We expect them to kick off their Group F campaign with a victory on Friday evening against Azerbaijan.
