Football prediction Portugal vs Belgium
Before the final day of the 2025 UEFA Nations League for women, the Portuguese girls ranked 3rd in Group A3 - a position that must play a playoff if they want to stay in the top division, while Belgium, at the bottom, will have to drop to League B in the Nations League next season, but the difference is only 1 point. Thus, if the Belgian women win this match, the positions between the two sides will be reversed, while Portugal only needs a draw to keep their position.
In the past, Belgium used to be "superior" to Portugal in women's football, but in the past few years that position has changed. That's why in the last 2 clashes, including the first leg of this UEFA Nations League, Portugal's women won, in stark contrast to the record of 4 losses and 1 draw in the previous 5 clashes with Belgium.
Currently, in the FIFA rankings for women's teams, Belgium is not much above Portugal (20 compared to 22). Away from home, Belgium has had 2 consecutive defeats, but remember that in the past few years, the Belgian girls have never lost 3 consecutive away matches (not counting friendlies).
On the other side, Portugal of course has a lot of advantages when playing at home, but in 3 matches at home, they have not won. Furthermore, the Portuguese women have had some stumbles (draws or losses) when hosting opponents of equal or slightly worse quality such as Belgium (shown by the level below -1 for Portugal).
In conclusion, the Portuguese women may not suffer a tragic defeat, thereby falling to the bottom of the table, but will most likely have to accept a draw.
Predicted result Portugal vs Belgium: 1-1
