Here is all the detailed information about this World Cup Qualifiers game including the preview, storylines, predictions, odds and even how to watch it in the US.
Portugal are playing in an “easy” group. The only dangerous team that could take the Portuguese out of first place is Serbia. They are leading the group with seven points after winning two games and drawing only once. The first victory of the qualifiers was against Azerbaijan at home, but it was a difficult victory to achieve, the home team barely managed to win 1-0.
Ireland's strength is on their defense, said by the team's head coach. They still don't know what it's like to win in the European World Cup Qualifiers 2022. The only two games were defeats against Serbia and against Luxembourg.

Portugal vs Ireland: Storylines
After this game, Portugal have to play two relatively easy games. One against Azerbaijan and one against Luxembourg. The same rivals that were defeated by the Portuguese in the first two “matchweeks” of the European World Cup Qualifiers 2022.
Ireland still have six games to go, which translates to 18 points to play. It sounds easy to say, but the Irish have to win at least four of those games and hope that the other teams in Group A lose games.
Ireland showed strength against Serbia, even though they lost 3-2, that final result is a glimpse of what Ireland are capable of as a team. Portugal had a tight game against Azerbaijan, the visiting defense was strong on the road.
