Italy was playing world cup qualifiers terribly, they were unable to win most games, achieving only boring ties against considered weak teams such as Northern Ireland and Bulgaria. And even though Switzerland isn't a weak team, Italy should have been superior to them, but they were unable to do it as well, staying in second position in group C. Considering it, Portugal seems to have some advantage over them.
However, at same time, Italy has played Eurocopa 2021 brightly and that is a very strong factor at their favour. I could even believe Italy has totally focused their effort and energy in Eurocopa until now and since it's over, they can fully concentrate their skills in world cup from this phase on.

You are right in this concern, but sadly Italy is facing some serious trouble with too many injuries which are occurring these matches, and they have to face few unwanted draws against weak teams, so now they are in qualifiers for next world cup after losing their spot in last world cup, but surely we all know in few things no one can do any magic, so this happens in Italy case they are facing some terrible injuries with too many players but now good luck they have some good time hopefully during this period they will have some better options or alternative, so they will be able to play against strong opponent like Portugal and will qualify for next world cup.

The truth is Italy is the team of my soul, I like Italian football, and everything that has to do with Italy, and the truth is that they deserve to enter the World Cup, however on the other side there is Portugal, and Portugal I just want That he goes to the World Cup for CR7, I want to see if CR7 and Messi can meet in an eventual World Cup final, because France is in charge at a given moment of eliminating a very powerful Brazil, France always represents it, as in the 2002 World Cup, when France eliminated Brazil and played with Italy, which was when Zinedine Zidane was expelled, which was a great final.
