Portugal to Win
We're backing an away win on Saturday as Portugal have won each of their last three meetings with the Czech Republic, including a 2-0 win in the pair's reveres group game back in June. The hosts are without a win in their last three matches and have lost three of their last six outings in all competitions, while Portugal have won four of their last six fixtures.
Cristiano Ronaldo to Score
Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored 2-goals in the Nations League this season and we're backing international football's highest scorer to find the back of the net against the Czech Republic this weekend. Ronaldo might not be firing on all cylinders for Man Utd this season, when he plays, but he rarely disappoints on international duty. The 37-year-old has scored 117-goals in 189 caps for Portugal which includes 2-goals in 5-games for Portugal in 2022.
