-----------------------------

Portugal will complete their 2026 World Cup preparations with a friendly match against Nigeria before opening the tournament against DR Congo on June 17. Nigeria missed out on a place at the finals after losing to DR Congo on penalties in the CAF playoff final.

Team Analysis:

Portugal head into their final World Cup warm-up against Nigeria after beating Chile and are widely viewed as strong contenders, with Cristiano Ronaldo aiming to end his World Cup career on a high. Nigeria missed out on qualification but arrive in good form and are expected to offer a tough test despite several key players being absent from the tournament.

Player Situation:

Portugal are expected to rotate their lineup against Nigeria, with several Paris Saint-Germain players returning to the squad and Cristiano Ronaldo possibly starting on the bench. Nigeria will be without Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman, but Terem Moffi and Akor Adams are set to lead the attack once again.

Result Prediction:

Portugal are expected to face a competitive challenge from Nigeria in their final World Cup warm-up. Even with planned rotations to keep players fresh, Portugal are still tipped to come out on top.

Predicted Result: Portugal 2-1 Nigeria.
