Portugal vs Algeria Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Portugal predictions

Portugal vs Algeria predictions and betting tips for the International Friendly on Thursday Evening with an anytime goalscorer tip and match prediction included.

Portugal managed to prevent the Belgium attack from getting on the scoresheet earlier this week and they continue their preparations for the 2018 World Cup against Algeria in Lisbon. Cristiano Ronaldo returns from his 10-day break to join the Portuguese training camp and he could play some part in this game. Fernando Santos’ side showed terrific organisation against the Red Devils and they will need to recreate that superb rear-guard action when they take on Spain in their opening Group B encounter. They are not expected to finish above their Iberian rivals but they will have their eyes on second spot. They had a disastrous 2014 World Cup and will want to bounce back from that disappointment. Their back-line is not getting any younger but it should hold firm in this one. They’ve only won one of their last five International Friendlies but this should be significantly easier. Algeria haven’t qualified for the 2018 World Cup and they have lost each of their last three friendlies. See our Portugal vs Algeria betting tips and predictions in the article below.

 

Portugal vs Algeria Betting Preview

Portugal start as odds-on favourites in this tie and can be backed at 2/5. They will be expected to pick up a morale-boosting victory ahead of the 2018 World Cup. It’s 13/4 for Algeria to thwart Portugal and the game to end all square whilst they are 17/2 to nick it.

The Portuguese defence isn’t known for being watertight although it did keep a clean sheet against Belgium. Both Teams to Score? Yes can be backed at 7/5 here.

Cristiano Ronaldo may get some minutes on the pitch and he is odds-on favourite to score anytime here. He’s also 2/1 to open the scoring.

All of these odds are from Ladbrokes.

Portugal vs Algeria Predictions

Portugal start as the 2/5 favourites in this tie and they shouldn’t have too many problems. They should score a few goals and with their occasional defensive lapse, this could be a high-scoring affair. The first of our Portugal vs Algeria betting tips is Portugal Win and Over 2.5 Goals which is priced at 13/10 with Ladbrokes.

Algeria have some terrific individual players but they aren’t very strong at the back. They recently conceded three times to Cape Verde Islands in an International Friendly and they also let in three goals against Zambia during World Cup Qualifying. Portugal to Score Over 2.5 Team Goals is priced at 15/8 with Coral and is the second of our Portugal vs Algeria predictions.

We’re not sure how much time Cristiano Ronaldo will get on the pitch so it may be better to side with Andre Silva to find the back of the net here. He scored against Saudi Arabia recently. Andre Silva in the anytime goalscorer market is priced at 13/10 with Betfair and is the last of our Portugal vs Algeria betting tips.
