They drew 1-1 against Ukraine, Poland, the Netherlands and Macedonia, with 0-0 results at San Siro against Sweden in November 2017 and Portugal tonight.
The most recent home victory was 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier against Israel at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio-Emilia on September 5, 2017.
Portugal are now unbeaten in away fixtures since a 3-0 friendly in Holland on March 26, 2018, managing two wins and two draws.
Their last competitive away defeat (not including tournaments) was 2-0 in Switzerland on September 6, 2016, their opening World Cup qualifier.
That was followed by five consecutive victories, in which they scored 15 goals and conceded two (both in the 3-2 result in Poland on October 11), and this stalemate.
