"Knowing that they can officially punch their World Cup ticket on Thursday night, Ireland will travel to Dublin when they meet Ireland. Only continuing to shine since their Nations League success over the summer, Roberto Martinez's men have continued to receive a string of plaudits from across the continent and they will be hoping to wrap up top spot in Group F with another statement."
"Getting their Group F adventure underway with a 5-0 romp against Armenia on September 6th, the former Belgium boss has seen his squad register 10 points from their previous four qualifying appearances. Getting their hands on second Nations League crown back in June as they edged past reigning European champions Spain, Portugal have gained a fearsome reputation from across the continent."
Portugal can secure World Cup qualification with a win in Dublin. Roberto Martinez's side have impressed since winning the Nations League and have registered 10 points from their previous four qualifying matches. Portugal opened Group F with a 5-0 victory over Armenia and drew 2-2 with Hungary in Lisbon. The team have lost only once in 16 competitive appearances since EURO 24. Ireland edged Armenia at home to keep qualifying hopes alive but face a monumental challenge in Dublin with World Cup dreams hanging in the balance. Cristiano Ronaldo remains a central figure as Portugal aim to wrap up top spot.
