The top two teams in Group A are not only tied in the standings but also tied in their only match so far in group play:
Portugal’s path to this moment in group play was perfect all the way up until its last match against the Republic of Ireland. The team was 5-1-0 heading into that match against a country that has struggled in group play, only to be shut out and finish with a tie.
That tie opened up the door for Serbia to crush last place Azerbaijan (3-1) and tie up the standings in Group A.
With a win over the Republic of Ireland, Group A would be very close to a wrap. Portugal would be up by two points on Serbia with the best defense in the group and a win or tie scenario to advance today.
The Republic of Ireland has been a spoiler for both of these countries, tying them each once and playing them tightly with one-goal losses in the other matches.
What ultimately could be the difference in today's match is defense. Both teams have scored 16 goals in group play, but Portugal has only given up four total goals, with Serbia giving up eight. Portugal has four shutouts, two matches giving up one goal and only won giving up multiple goals, the tie to Serbia.
This is going to be fun.
