Looking at the team's raw strength and group - stage performance, Portugal holds a clear edge on paper. The "Five - Shield Legion" has an overall squad value of up to one billion euros and boasts top - tier stars like Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Rafael Leão. In the group stage, they advanced with a record of one win and two draws, accumulating five points, and conceded only one goal, indicating a very solid defensive system. However, Portugal isn't without concerns. During the group stage, the team showed a lack of efficiency in breaking down opponents in positional play. Also, as they didn't top their group, they had to make a nearly 2000 - kilometer long - haul flight from Florida, USA, to Toronto, which is a huge test for their physical reserves. Moreover, the team has recently been involved in off - field issues. The social - media conflict between Cristiano Ronaldo's family and teammates, along with the departure of assistant coach Nuno Carvalho due to his father's passi

The team in the Belarusian Premier League is in the middle of the league standings this season. With 19 points from 5 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in 13 rounds, they're ranked 7th. They're only 3 points behind Gomel in the previous position, but the gap to the leading teams has widened to double - digits. In their last 5 official matches, they've failed to secure a win, with 4 draws and 1 loss. In the previous round, they were thrashed 0 - 3 by Roki Novi on the road. Although they had big - score wins like 5 - 1 against Bobruisk and 4 - 2 against Naftan, the opponents were mid - to - low ranked teams, so these victories lack real weight.

In terms of defense, they've conceded 16 goals, which places them in the lower half of the middle in the league. At home, they've had high - scoring games like 5 - 1 and 4 -

The team's attack - defense transitions are swift and smooth. They can control the game tempo through ball - possession, with a well - defined tactical system. Their midfield organization is top - notch, and the players have excellent
