Their unbeaten run of two wins and a draw, combined with a devastating 4-0 victory in the sole previous meeting, underlines their superiority. Nigeria arrive without Osimhen, Lookman, and Nwabali, severely weakening their threat. Backing <strong>over 2.5 goals<\/strong> at N\/A offers value too, given Portugal&rsquo;s prolific scoring rate this season. The hosts should control proceedings comfortably. 18+.
