This is a clash of two relegation battling sides in Group 3 of the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League A as Portugal host Belgium in Funchal on Tuesday. With four points in five games, the Navegadoras are in third place and currently heading into the relegation play-offs following a series of humiliating defeats.
Spain beat them 4-2 on matchday three before inflicting a greater 7-1 loss in their next clash. England then piled more misery on Portugal with a thumping 6-0 victory last Friday.
Another defeat on the final day would see them relegated to League B, as the Seleccao need at least a draw to remain in the play-offs position.
On the other hand, all the talk of Belgium's comeback following a 3-2 win over England was squashed last week when Spain inflicted a 5-1 demolition upon them.
It was their fourth loss of the group stage campaign and remain rooted to the foot of the table, staring at a possible relegation unless they manage to beat Portugal.
