- Competition: Euro Under-19 Championship Qualification
- Date: 12th November 2025
- Kick-off: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
- Venue: D. Das Aves, Vila das Aves
Portugal and Estonia lock horns in Vila das Aves on Wednesday evening as both sides begin their Euro Under-19 Championship qualifying campaign. Neither team has been at their best in recent outings, but both will see this as a chance to reset and start strong. Portugal come in with just one win from their last four matches, while Estonia have managed only one victory in their last six.
H2H stats
These two nations have crossed paths only twice since 2011, both times in Euro U19 qualifiers. Portugal came out on top in each meeting, scoring six goals across those games and keeping clean sheets in both.
Portugal U19 team overview
Portugal U19 have struggled to find their rhythm lately and enter this fixture after a narrow 1-0 defeat to England U19 away from home.
That loss continued a modest run of one win, one draw, and two defeats in their last four matches. The biggest concern for Joaquim Milheiro’s side has been their lack of cutting edge in front of goal, with two games in that stretch ending scoreless.
Still, Portugal have looked much stronger at home, winning three of their last four matches on their own turf. Playing in front of their fans should lift their confidence as they look to start their campaign with a convincing performance and reassert their dominance at this level.

Estonia U19 team overview
Estonia U19 arrive in Portugal short on form and confidence, with only one win from their last six matches. They’ve conceded at least twice in three of those and failed to score in half of them, showing defensive gaps and inconsistency up front.
Yet, head coach Alo Bärengrub knows his team can compete when they stay organized and focused. Their lone victory during this difficult spell came away to Sweden in a 2-1 win during last year’s qualifiers - a reminder that this side can rise to the occasion.
Bärengrub will look for the same fighting spirit in Vila das Aves as Estonia aim to frustrate Portugal and perhaps snatch another unexpected result on the road.

Prediction
Portugal U19 should have too much firepower for Estonia, especially playing at home where they’ve been far more convincing. Estonia may show flashes of resistance and could find the net, but the hosts’ quality and attacking depth should ultimately make the difference. Expect a lively encounter with goals at both ends, but Portugal’s stronger squad and home advantage should see them run out comfortable winners. My prediction is a 3-1 home win.
Three reasons I expect Portugal U19 to win this game
- Portugal U19 won their last two meetings with Estonia U19 6-0 on aggregate.
- Estonia U19 have lost four of their last six matches.
- Portugal U19 have won three of their last four home matches.
