Portugal are massive favourites to progress to the world cup finals after being drawn against Bosnia. One can say that Bosnia made a name for themselves in the group stages but against the bigger boys, they play with a high line and are often culprits of their indecisiveness. They were taught a lesson by Spain in their last qualifying match, losing 5-2 on home soil. They are able to accumulate their points by playing their style of direct football on their small pitch but away from home, their game plan is not as productive.

Portugal and Spain are some of the sides in Europe who play possession football and when teams are unable to keep hold of the ball, these giants will ultimately them. The Portuguese Liga is a prime example of why home advantage counts and you can be sure that the Portuguese side today will dictate the game. They have won their last three games with a combined scoreline of 9-0 and incredibly, their clean sheet streak has lasted for a staggering 540minutes of football. Go for the home side to beef up a decent advantage before they go away to Bosnia next Wednesday.

Pick: Portugal -1.5 @2.26
