Portugal is not going to win the group, Russia has played two less games. So they're playing for the playoff spot.
A win would obviously be huge, but it's not a must win. They are tied with Israel for second spot and need to get more points than them in four games to secure that spot. Israel still has to play away to Russia and away to Portugal. I think Portugal secures second spot. But, that still might not be enough as the Group F 2nd place team is currently in 9th in UEFA and that's not good for a playoff spot.
Big game for sure though but they're far from out if they don't get a full 3 pts.
