This Tuesday, the Portugal team will play their last friendly before the Euro Cup. The Portuguese host Ireland, at 3:45 pm (Brasília time), at the Aveiro Municipal Stadium. The match will be broadcast on ESPN.
The Portuguese are going to their fifth duel before the Euros. Those led by Roberto Martínez won two (Sweden and Finland) and lost the other two (Croatia and Slovenia).
Cristiano Ronaldo’s team is coming off a defeat to Croatia. However, the result was minimized due to the tests carried out by the coach in the match.
On the other hand, Ireland will not compete in the European Championship. In this way, the team is already thinking about the World Cup qualifiers.
