Preview: Portugal vs Chile Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | International Friendly
Seleção have never defeated Chile on the international stage.
Portugal will host Chile at the Estádio do Jamor for their first of two pre-FIFA World Cup 2026 friendlies. Portugal are one of the favourites to win the competition, and Chile will serve as a great test for them ahead of the World Cup. This will certainly be Cristiano Ronaldo’s last World Cup, and this will serve as a dose of extra motivation for the entire team. The defending UEFA Nations League winners are being considered one of the favourites to win the ultimate prize this summer.
Chile, on the other hand, are going through a rough patch when it comes to continental and international tournaments in recent years. After a strong display at the 2014 World Cup and securing back-to-back Copa America titles in 2015 and 2016, fans expected Chile to achieve even bigger and better things. They had a great generation of quality players, but they are on a downward trajectory in recent years. However, Chile have won three of their last five games.

Players to watch out for:
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the greatest goalscorer this sport has ever seen, and he is not showing any signs of slowing down despite being in his 40s. He had an incredible season with Al Nassr as he finally clinched the Saudi Pro League. He is still scoring at an incredible rate and will be his nation’s leading man at the World Cup.
Maximilian Gutiérrez (Chile)
Gutiérrez registered a goal and an assist against Cape Verde during the last international window and will be high on confidence ahead of his game against Portugal. Despite his young age, the CA Independiente midfielder has become a regular part of his national team due to his immense talent.
