Croatia will look to recover from their Euro 2024 group-stage exit as they face Portugal in their Nations League opener.

Portugal:

Portugal begins their UEFA Nations League campaign at Estadio da Luz against Croatia on Thursday. After a quarter-final exit at Euro 2024 and a penalty shootout loss to France, Portugal aims to bounce back. With Cristiano Ronaldo still in the squad and coach Roberto Martinez at the helm, the Selecao are determined to improve on their last Nations League performance, where they finished second behind Spain. Winning both home matches, including this one, will be crucial for securing a top-two finish in Group 1 and advancing to the quarter-finals.

Croatia:

Croatia will look to recover from their Euro 2024 group-stage exit as they face Portugal in their Nations League opener. After a strong performance in the 2023 Nations League, where they finished as runners-up, the Croatians aim to build on their success despite a disappointing summer. With Zlatko Dalic continuing as head coach and Luka Modric extending his international career, Croatia is focused on performing well in the Nations League and targeting silverware. A positive result in Lisbon will be key to their ambitions in Group 1.

Prediction:  2-1
