Portugal and Switzerland face off seeking their first wins in their second matches of the Nations League in Group 2 of League A. Switzerland, playing away to Portugal, go into this game bottom of the group after their opening loss in Czech Republic, while Portugal have one point from a draw with Spain. Against Spain, Portugal rested a number of key players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on for the last 28 minutes. The Manchester United forward will be expected to start here, after Portugal dug from a goal down to draw 1-1 in Spain. They go into this game unbeaten in three matches, two of them wins, and in their last five matches they’ve failed to score in just one. At home, they have a good run, losing just twice in 22 matches. In their last five home matches, Portugal have four wins and scored two or more in those wins.

In their last two meetings with Portugal, Switzerland have lost, and they don’t come here on the best footing, being winless in their last three matches. A 2-1 away loss at Czech Republic gives them a tough task in this group, as they have two straight away matches to start off. It may take them some time to get their footing as even two straight home games against Spain and Portugal after this will not make for easy outings. The Swiss have one win in the last five matches, a resounding 4-0 victory over Bulgaria, which is also their only clean sheet in five games. On a positive note though, they’ve scored in each of their last seven games but away from home they’ll still need improvement, having only beaten Lithuania in the last five. They have two straight away losses and haven’t managed a clean sheet on their travels in the last three.
