Portugal is playing today the second game of this triple day with a view to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, which will take place in Qatar. After the victory against Azerbaijan, last Wednesday, by 1-0, Fernando Santos’s men play today in Belgrade, with the strong Serbian team, identified as the main rival of Portugal in this qualifying phase.
