Match Facts |

Portugal and Switzerland will try to secure their first wins in the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League during the Group A Group 2 clash at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon on Sunday.
Fernando Santos' team was late to escape a 1-1 draw against Spain in the first leg, with the visitors conceding a 2-1 defeat to the Czech Republic. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was on the bench during a Portugal match, is really a collector's item, and manager Santos has justified his decision not to start the five-time Ballon d'Or winner because Selecao claimed a point in the opening stalemate with Iberian neighbors Spain.
Alvaro Morata completed La Roja's equalizer in the 25th minute and Ronaldo pulled off the expected performance from the bench, but Ricardo Horta's substitute restored Portugal's equalizer in the 82nd minute. Horta's first goal for Portugal, they see them finish second on the embryonic level after one game, and look forward to both the fight with the Czech Republic and the double-header against the opening Nations League champions, the Swiss.
Qatar's preparations for 2022 have been active since Portugal ended their North Macedonian dream in the playoff finals last month, and Selecao have lost only once in 10 games after a disappointing exit from Euro 2020. Failing to get out of their Nations League group last year was a reality test for the world's eighth-ranked nation that has not failed to find the back of the net in a home fixture since November 2020 and is trying to go back.
There are own goals, and then there are the most unfortunate self-goals, Switzerland midfielder Digibril So, the victim of the first-day defeat against the promoted Czech Republic. Red Bull Salzburg star Noah Okafor was on target for Switzerland when Jan Kucha took 11 minutes to draw the first blood for the Czech Republic, with a poor deflection from outside the penalty area and a cross from Jacob Jankto. At the back of the net.
Had Murat Yak's team been able to put up a more brutal performance in Prague, they would not have started Day Two of the lowest match in the rankings with zero points to their name, but the Swiss coach agreed that lessons need to be learned from the defeat. Continue their journey to Qatar. The Rosso Socrocytes have three games without a win in every tournament, and they have netted in each of their last seven games, but their only win outside the home since the start of the Nations League was against them. Minnows Iceland in October 2018.
On the way to the trophy in the 2018-19 semi-finals, Portugal beat Switzerland 3-1, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, and Selecao recorded the fourth defeat in a bounce for visitors on the soil, and Rossocrosiati has not won since 1969. Out of the house against Portugal in any match.
Portugal possible starting lineup:
Costa; Cancelo, Pepe, Pereira, Guerreiro; Silva, Neves, Fernandes; Jota, Ronaldo, Leao
Switzerland possible starting lineup:
Sommer; Widmer, Schar, Elvedi, Rodriguez; Shaqiri, Freuler, Xhaka, Zuber; Okafor, Seferovic
