Portugal v Croatia Tips: Back goals in Lisbon

Portugal to edge out Croatia in Nations League thriller

Three reasons for our Portugal v Croatia prediction

Portugal and Croatia will meet in the Nations League for the second time on Saturday, with both sides looking to secure a place in the semi-finals.

The two teams played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in their first meeting back in September, and another high-scoring clash could be on the cards this weekend.

Here are three reasons why we are backing Portugal to edge out Croatia in another goal-filled encounter.

• Portugal have a strong record at home. They have won their last five matches at the Estadio da Luz, scoring 14 goals in the process.
• Croatia have been struggling for form away from home. They have lost their last two away matches, conceding eight goals in the process.
• Portugal have a better head-to-head record against Croatia. They have won three of their last five meetings, including a 4-1 victory in the 2018 World Cup.
