Our correct score is 2-0, then 1-0. Portugal are in better form heading into this match.

Methodology

Match analysis

Portugal vs Wales on 24 September is shaped by Wales' form as much as anything Portugal have done: no win in their last five, including consecutive defeats by 2-4 and 0-3. Superior backs the Portugal home win at 1.28, a call the model rates 74 percent.

Wales have lost three of their last five without a win

Two of those defeats were by multiple goals, 2-4 and 0-3, and the other three results were two draws and a further loss. A side with a defence rating of 6.3 has still conceded that freely inside its own recent matches, which is a big reason the model does not see this as a fixture Wales are well placed to control.

The attack and defence ratings on both sides are almost identical

Portugal and Wales carry near-matching numbers on the model's own scale: an attack rating of 6.2 apiece, and defence ratings of 6.2 for Portugal against 6.3 for Wales. Recent form is doing more of the work behind Portugal as the pick here than those ratings are.

Portugal have also failed to win at home this run

Portugal's own record is not flawless: their last five at this venue include a 0-1 defeat and a 0-0 draw alongside three wins, one of them a 5-0. If the hosts have an off night in front of goal the way they did in that 0-1, Wales' recent form for conceding goals rather than winning matches gives them little to lean on to prevent a draw.
