How to watch Croatia vs Portugal for FREE, predictions & line ups

The upcoming UEFA Nations League match between Croatia and Portugal on November 18, 2024, presents an exciting opportunity for fans to engage with top-tier football. While Portugal has already secured its position at the top of the group, Croatia seeks redemption following a recent defeat to Scotland. Predicted lineups suggest that Croatia will field notable players such as Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic, whereas Portugal may rely on talents like Joao Felix and Vitinha due to the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo .

A pre-match press conference is also expected, featuring the national coach Roberto Martinez and one of the players from the squad.

Following the resounding victory against Poland (5-1) in Porto last Friday, the Portuguese national team has successfully navigated through the group stage of the Nations League for the second consecutive time, advancing to the quarter-finals—a new phase introduced in this edition, as qualification prior allowed a direct spot in the 'final four'—and holding the status of a top seed with their group position secured.

Croatia may have beaten Portugal only once, but it was in a recent encounter, earlier this year, as Zlatko Dalic’s side won 2-1 at the Jamor National Stadium in a Euro 2024 preparation match. In the most recent matchup Portugal won 2-1 at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon in the first Nations League match in September.

Predictions regarding the match outcome vary; some analysts anticipate a competitive contest with potential advantages favoring Portugal due to their current form and squad depth . However, Croatia's determination to secure a win at home could lead to an unpredictable result. Overall, this matchup promises both strategic gameplay and thrilling moments for viewers worldwide.
