It is worth remembering that these teams met last September 4, where the Portuguese won 3-1 with goals by André Silva, Otávio and Bruno Fernandes; Abdelkarim Hassan scored for the Asian team.

In the midfield, one of the most unbalanced players is Pedro Miguel Carvalho Deus Correia, better known as Ró-Ró, who with his good technique and touch in the last third of the field could change the destiny of the game.

Diego Jota will have to take advantage of the opportunities every time he is on the field because he has not been able to connect one hundred percent with the goal and needs to establish himself in the starting lineup to continue forming a duo with Cristiano Ronaldo.

21 Yousof Hassan, 15 Bassam Al Rawi, 3 Abdelkarim Hassan, 5 Tarek Salman, 6 Abdelaziz Hatim, 10 Hasan Al Haydos, 12 Karim Boudiaf, 14 Homam Ahmed, 2 Ro-Ro, 11 Akram Afif, 19 Almoez Ali.

A few weeks ago, these two teams played against each other, where the Portuguese team won, but the Qatari team missed many chances on the opponent's goal, a situation they will have to improve in this match. They will close the year facing Serbia, Ireland and Azerbaijan.

It should be noted that, as world champions, they do not play the qualifiers and in a year they will host the most important event in their soccer history.

This type of games will be very useful for Portugal in the run-up to the World Cup to test players and not to wear out those who will be starting next Tuesday when they face Luxembourg in the penultimate elimination game, where they are group leaders.

The Portugal vs Qatar match will be played at the Algarve Stadium, in Almancil, Portugal. The kick-off is scheduled at 15:15 pm ET.
