Israel missed out on a place at the Euros after losing to Scotland in the playoffs and go here only preparing for the World Cup qualifiers coming in September. They are coming from a 3-1 win over Montenegro, having earlier beaten Moldova 4-1. Against Portugal it will be a tougher affair, and we don’t expect them to score as many. Israel have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four matches while they have just two in their last 18 matches. The three wins they have managed in the last five matches have been against weaker opponents than Portugal and to carry on with that, they’ll have to put in more.
