Portugal vs Ghana
Portugal 2-0 Ghana
Portugal seem to be on the cusp of breaking through after winning Euro 2016 and the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League.
Portugal have a juggernaut starting eleven consisting of Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, João Cancelo, Diogo Jota, and João Félix. It is a very intimidating roster that has a significant edge in talent over the Black Stars.
Ghana will need to avoid conceding an early goal in hopes of landing a counter attack to stay in this match. Unfortunately, even with Thomas Partey (Arsenal), Mohammed Kudus (Ajax), and André Ayew, that is easier said than done.
Portugal and Ghana have only squared off one time, back in the 2014 group stages, when the European nation won 2-1 on a Ronaldo match-winner. I expect to see a similar score during their clash this time around.

I expect a slow and defensive match by both nations in this fixture between Ghana and Portugal. Fernando Santos’ side have the talent to play at a more disciplined pace while still creating opportunities to score.
