👉 Our prediction is: Portugal win or draw

Portugal has been a thorn in the side of many teams of late, and even away from home, they are quite a dangerous opponent for anyone. So as they travel to face Ireland, our betting tip is Portugal win or draw on the Double Chance market, which means they can either win or draw for the bet to win.

It would honestly not be that big of a surprise if Portugal emerged victorious against Ireland given the quality they've shown, but claiming a point is a much more realistic goal.
