Republic of Ireland v Portugal Bet Builder, Tips and Predictions – World Cup Qualifier | 13 Nov, 19:45

Venue: Aviva Stadium
Competition: World Cup Qualifier (Group F)
Kick-Off: Thursday, 13 November 2025 – 19:45 (UK)


🇮🇪 Republic of Ireland v Portugal Preview

The Aviva Stadium plays host to a heavyweight World Cup Qualifier on Thursday night as Republic of Ireland welcome Group F leaders Portugal, with the hosts desperate to keep their slim qualification hopes alive.

It’s been a disappointing campaign so far for Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side, who have collected just four points from their opening four matches, leaving them adrift in the race for a playoff spot.

Ireland’s only victory came via a narrow 1-0 win against Armenia, following a poor start that included defeats to Armenia (2-1) and Portugal (1-0), while a 2-2 draw against Hungary showed promise in attack but once again exposed their defensive fragility.

Despite being well-organised and physical at home, Ireland’s lack of cutting edge has cost them in key moments — and with star striker Evan Ferguson sidelined, goals could once again be hard to come by.

By contrast, Portugal look every bit like one of Europe’s elite under Roberto Martínez, having gone seven games unbeaten (W6, D1) and scoring 22 goals while conceding just three in that time.

Their last three competitive wins — 5-0 vs Armenia, 3-2 vs Hungary, and 1-0 vs Ireland — underline both their attacking depth and ability to grind out results. The Selecão can seal qualification here with a win, and few would bet against them doing so.

Portugal’s attacking quartet of Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, and Rafael Leão should provide more than enough firepower to trouble Ireland’s back line, especially with the visitors boasting an average of 7.2 corners per gamein qualifying — second-highest in Europe.

Republic of Ireland:

  • Out: Evan Ferguson (ankle), Sammie Szmodics, Mark Sykes, Callum O’Dowda (injuries).

  • Suspended: Ryan Manning, Jayson Molumby.

  • Debut watch: Celtic striker Johnny Kenny could feature up front.

Predicted XI:
Kelleher; O’Brien, Collins, O’Shea; Coleman, Cullen, Taylor, Johnston; Ebosele, Azaz; Parrott


Portugal:

  • Out: Pedro Neto (groin), Pedro Gonçalves (muscle).

  • In-form: Cristiano Ronaldo (9 goals in 8 for Al-Nassr).

  • Rotation possible: Rafael Leão and Bernardo Silva likely to start wide.

Predicted XI:
Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Inacio, Mendes; Fernandes, Neves, Vitinha; Bernardo, Ronaldo, Leao

Rep Ireland v Portugal Prediction

Ireland will look to frustrate and defend deep, but without Ferguson leading the line, their attacking threat is limited.
Portugal, meanwhile, are in ruthless form and should control possession and territory throughout.

Expect the visitors to dominate the shot and corner count, while Ronaldo continues his rich vein of form in front of goal.

Conclusion

With qualification on the line, Portugal’s professionalism and attacking quality should see them past a spirited but limited Ireland side. Expect a composed performance from the visitors, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be eager to make his mark in Dublin.
