Portugal take on Azerbaijan in the 2022 World Cup qualifier, buoyed by recent success over republic of Ireland and Qatar. The 2016 European champions are currently second in the points table behind Serbia on goal difference. Azerbaijan managed their first point of the campaign when they earned a hard fought draw against the Irish but clearly need much more than that should they mount a late challenge to make it to the main event in Qatar next year. Portugal have a brilliant track record against Azerbaijan with six wins out of their seven encounters. Fernando Santos’ men may have disappointed in the European championship in the summer but remain a brilliant international team comprising star names. Azerbaijan versus Portugal will be telecasted on Sony Ten network and streamed on Sony Liv app from 9:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time). Cristiano Ronaldo Slap Video: Watch Portugal Captain Hit Opponent Dara O’Shea Before Missing Out on a Penalty Against Ireland, Escapes Red Card During FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifiers
