Portugal will be looking to continue their winning sequence under Roberto Martinez at the start of EURO qualification, as they chase a fourth straight win. A success could open up a five-point advantage at the top of the Group J standings.
It has been a successful start to life as Portugal boss for Roberto Martinez, as the nation sits top of their Group J standings after three rounds of matches. They have landed three straight victories, and have scored 13 unanswered goals. Portugal could open up a five-point advantage at the top of the standings, while they could be only a few more victories from securing their spot at the major tournament next summer.
Their excellent start to their Group J continued on Saturday, as they landed a straightforward 3-0 win over Bosnia. Bruno Fernandes was in excellent form throughout that match, as the Manchester United star netted twice in the final 13 minutes. Bernardo Silva also found the net in the success.
Iceland will have pressure on their shoulders if they are to reach the EUROs for the third straight edition. They currently sit fifth in the overall standings, as they have won just one of their opening three matches. However, a victory on Tuesday would see them close to within a point of the two qualification spots in Group J.
Despite their position in the standings, they have already scored eight goals in three matches. However, they have also allowed five goals. Iceland will be looking for a response this week, as they were beaten in their previous match by Slovakia. The visitors landed maximum points after netting their winning goal with just 20 minutes of the 90 remaining.
This is the fourth clash between these two national sides. The most recent meeting came at the 2016 EUROs, with the points being shared following a 1-1 draw. However, Portugal are unbeaten in all three previous international clashes between the sides.
Portugal have started the qualification campaign in excellent form, and they look good value to maintain their winning sequence this week. We find it challenging to overlook the visitors, and we could see the Portuguese securing a comfortable 3-0 win on the road, with Fernandes once again finding the net for his national side.
