PPortugal and the Czech Republic, who lead Group 2 of League A, will meet on Thursday in the first match of the 3rd round of the League of Nations, a round in which Switzerland, which faces Spain, may already be ruled out.
Both sets arrive in a similar situation: 4 points each, after 1 win and 1 draw in their first two games, hence the interest in Thursday’s game.
But Portugal keeps in its ranks a great Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, captain and mentor of the new generation. With 188 games behind him and 117 goals scored (world record), the Portuguese star still hungers for him, as evidenced by Sunday’s brace against Switzerland (4-0).
The Helvetians, for their part, have yet to score a point in two games and have no margin for error against Spain. In addition to the zero points in their locker, Switzerland has a goal difference in the red (-5).
Receiving Spain could serve Switzerland to take flight, Well, Luis Enrique’s ‘Roja’, unconvincing, has only achieved two draws, one against Portugal (1-1) and the other achieved in extremis against the Czechs in Prague (2-2).
Spain will have to pass an important test during its visit to Genevaespecially for young people like Gavi, 17, Barcelona’s attacking midfielder and already the youngest scorer in the history of the Spanish team.
League B also features two big games: In Group 4, Sweden will host Serbia and Norway will host Slovenia.
