Cristiano Ronaldo has started the new season in great form for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr.

Through his opening five matches of the campaign, the Portuguese great has netted six times, the most of any player in the league that has grown in quality over this most recent transfer window.

He’s additionally added four assists to his haul in that timeframe — the second most of any player in the competition — and he’ll now be hoping to bring that form into this first international break of the season.

Former European champions Portugal’s calendar year for 2023 is dominated by their push to qualify from Group J for Euro 2024 in Germany.

The Selecao are yet to even concede a goal in the campaign ahead of the September qualifiers, putting them in a strong position to go through.

Ronaldo’s own form has been pivotal to their success, scoring four times across three outings for his country.

Here’s a selection of standout odds involving the Portugal captain ahead of their match with Slovakia on Friday.

What are the chances of Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a goal against Slovakia?

As anticipated, it’s highly likely that Ronaldo will score against Slovakia during the upcoming match. This expectation is based on his excellent performance in terms of scoring goals in the Saudi Pro League recently. He’s still regarded as one of the best goal-scorers in the world of football.

To put it into perspective, the Portuguese national team has scored a total of 10 goals in their first three matches of the year, without any goals conceded by their opponents. Ronaldo himself contributed by scoring two goals in each of these matches, which were convincing victories against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. These matches marked Portugal’s return to international play since their unexpected defeat to Morocco in the quarterfinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

What are the chances of Cristiano Ronaldo scoring three goals in a single game against Slovakia?

Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible career boasts a remarkable 63 hat-tricks, where he scored three goals in a single game for his club and national team. With such an impressive track record, it’s a reasonable choice to bet on him achieving yet another hat-trick in his upcoming match.

To put things in perspective, Ronaldo has more hat-tricks than any other player in the history of the sport, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down, coming close to scoring two more hat-tricks in recent matches against Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.

Furthermore, Ronaldo holds the record for the most hat-tricks in men’s international football, having scored 10 trebles over the course of his career. At 38 years old, he is also the top scorer in men’s international football. Ronaldo surpassed the previous record of 114 goals held by Iran’s Ali Daei by scoring twice against the Republic of Ireland in November 2021.

In his 191 appearances for Portugal, Ronaldo has found the back of the net an astonishing 117 times.
