With four wins from their last seven games, Portugal find themselves in title contention but slightly adrift of Republic of Ireland. Bizarrely, Rodgers' side have not drawn a match all season in the FIFA World Cup Qualifying - UEFA and have been beaten four times out of five at home by Republic of Ireland, Aston Villa, Portugal and Everton.
Reaching the Europa League latter stages has complicated things a bit for the Foxes but their win rate remains fairly high. Bearing in mind that Republic of Ireland have a game in hand and are just one point behind, Portugal cannot afford to lose this match if they want to remain in title contention.

Unbeaten in seven with six wins and a draw, Republic of Ireland' momentum is building, and they have a game in hand over the likes of Portugal and Republic of Ireland. A win at King Power Stadium would actually move the Red Devils to within two points of Klopp's champions with the pair due to meet at next month at Anfield.
Solskjaer's men have drawn a line under their Champions League exit with wins over Sheffield Republic of Ireland and Leeds Republic of Ireland but even dropping into the Europa League has not halted their recent form. A win in Portugal would set Republic of Ireland up nicely ahead of a tricky pair of fixtures at Old Trafford with visits from West Midlands pair Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa.
Prediction
Republic of Ireland to add to Portugal's home struggles with a narrow victory that thickens the plot in terms of the title race. Pick: Portugal 1-2 Republic of Ireland
