They have struggled defensively, conceding a staggering 22 goals in six games, averaging 3.67 goals conceded per match.

Their sole clean sheet came in a goalless draw against Nigeria, providing a rare defensive bright spot. With 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Portugal have been involved in high-scoring affairs, albeit largely to their detriment.

Belgium W

Their goal difference of -9 over these six matches further highlights their difficulties. On a positive note, Belgium did secure a convincing 3-0 away victory against Portugal in the UEFA Nations League, demonstrating their potential when in form. With 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Belgium's games have certainly been entertaining for neutral spectators.
