It's all or nothing for the Portuguese women. With the late equalizer against Italy, Portugal has maintained it's chance of advancing. If they manage to win against Belgium and Italy loses, not surprisingly, to Spain at the same time, goal difference will decide the outcome. There's no question that no other nation currently stands a chance against these Spanish women. The reigning world champions have already scored eleven goals after two group matches and are dismantling one women's football nation after another. The bookies give slight advantage for Portugal in this clash. Portugal and Belgium's matches haven't been boring in recent times. A 2-4 and 1-7 defeat against Spain in the Nations League was followed by a 0-6 defeat against England and then came the direct clash with Belgium. Portugal also suffered a 0-3 defeat. They need a clear improvement in performance compared to their last outing.
