Portugal will take on Liechtenstein in the Euro qualifiers at the Rheinpark Stadium on Thursday. Cristiano Ronaldo's team has won all of the eight group games they have played so far and they look unstoppable as league leaders in Group J. The hosts, on the other hand, have lost all their eight matches and are rock bottom in the standings.
Portugal have a 100 per cent win record since their World Cup exit last year. Anything other other a defeat for the hosts would be considered a shock result. Liechtenstein have not won an official fixture in the last five years.
