Portugal and Liechtenstein begin their Euro 2024 qualification campaigns when they meet in Lisbon on Thursday.

Both nations are under new management, looking to improve on respective disappointments in recent months.

Players to watch: Portugal’s Gonçalo Ramos has scored six times across his last six appearances for Benfica and netted a brilliant World Cup hat-trick against Switzerland in December.

Nobody in the current Liechtenstein squad has bagged more international goals than captain Nicolas Hasler (five) and three of his four club goals this term came inside the opening 20 minutes.

Hot streak: Each of Portugal’s last six ECQ games witnessed scoring in both halves (W5, L1).

Portugal 7-0 Liechtenstein

In a clash between top and bottom seeds in Group J, this appears to be a complete mismatch on paper.

Liechtenstein will just try to keep the score down in a fixture which will almost certainly have one winner.
