AZJ vs POR Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Azerbaijan vs Portugal World Cup Qualifiers Live Score September 7

AZJ vs POR Dream11: Cristiano Ronaldo saved Portugal from what would have been an acrimonious reaction from their supporters as his late double turned his side’s game against Republic of Ireland on its head. His first of those saw him become the leading international goal-scorer of all-time but it was his second that caught the headlines as he superbly hauled his side to a victory from the jaws of defeat. Portugal backed that up with a 1-3 friendly win over Qatar at the weekend but now return to World Cup qualifying action with a trip to Azerbaijan, a side with just one point to their name from four matches. Ronaldo’s celebration of his second goal saw him booked and subsequently banned from this contest but it should not prevent the away side from winning this by at least two clear goals.
