Our prediction: Portugal v North Macedonia
Portugal have been bullish ahead of this game, with Ronaldo leading the confident soundbites: "If our fans show up the way they can, we will win on Tuesday.
"Macedonia surprised and did so in many games, but I think tomorrow it will not surprise us Portugal will be better and we will go to the World Cup."
North Macedonia manager Blagoja Milevski now only has one job. Print off every single word from Ronaldo's press conference and pin it up on every square inch of the dressing room wall. Portugal should have this one wrapped up, but this is football. And football rarely plays by the rules.
Our prediction: Portugal 2-0 North Macedonia (9/2 at Bet365)
