Portugal will welcome Slovakia on Friday evening knowing that a victory would see them secure their spot in next summer's European Championship finals with three games to spare.
480PAn excellent campaign to date has left Roberto Martinez's side at the top of Group J on 18 points, while Slovakia are second in the section, picking up 13 points from their opening six matches.
It is simple for Martinez's side; a win would guarantee their spot at Euro 2024 with three games in hand, while a draw would be enough if Luxembourg fail to beat Iceland, with the fixture also taking place on Friday.
Portugal will enter this match off the back of a stunning 9-0 win over Luxembourg last month, with Goncalo Inacio, Goncalo Ramos and Diogo Jota all scoring braces in the Group J fixture.
The Iberian side are unbeaten since their famous 1-0 loss to Morocco in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, and they look well-placed to be a major challenger for next summer's European Championship, with the national side looking to repeat their success from the 2016 tournament.
