FIFA World Cup Qualifiers live.

Portugal takes on the Republic of Ireland in the ongoing FIFA World Cup Qualifiers on Thursday. Both teams will be looking to walk away with three points during their fourth match of the ongoing Qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.

Portugal will head into the game as the number one team on the Group A table. The hosts have pocketed two wins while playing out one draw in their previous three games. They have seven points in their tally and are topping the group only based on goal difference. With second-placed Serbia also recording the same number of points as Portugal, Fernando Santos’ side will be eager to create a gap by collecting three more points against Ireland.

The visitors, on the other hand, are coming off after putting in some impressive performances in the last three outings. Ireland has not lost in their last three games with the European side playing out a 1-1 draw against Qatar before recording a massive 1-4 win over Andorra. Their last outing against Hungary saw the Irish record a 0-0 draw and find themselves slotted fourth on the group table with 2 losses in 2 games.
