Our betting expert shares the best Portugal vs Wales predictions & tips, as Jorge Jesus begins his reign as the new Portuguese national team boss.
Jesus has picked a star-studded squad to kick off Portugal’s 2026/27 Nations League campaign, while Wales are without a key central defender.

Wales sit 38th in the world rankings, their lowest placing since August 2014. They have not beaten a top-20 side since Croatia in October 2023. That is a poor platform for this trip.
Bellamy's defence is the bigger worry here. Joe Rodon is out with a hamstring problem, and Dylan Lawlor is also missing. Wales conceded twice in Bucharest in June against far weaker opposition.
