Colombia vs. Portugal
- Moneyline: Colombia (+310) vs. Portugal (-121), Draw (+280)
- Spread: Portugal -0.5 (-122)
- Total: 2.5
On paper, this is expected to be a closer match between the two. Colombia won both of its matches, including a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan and a 1-0 win over DR Congo. Portugal had a scare with a 1-1 draw against DR Congo in a match that Ronaldo did not score. They quieted all doubters with a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan.
We’re leaning on the goal total over 2.5 here. These teams have proven that they can score with a combined 10 goals over four total matches between the two.
Value On Ronaldo, Munoz, & Diaz
Ronaldo backed up his poor opening match with a brace against Uzbekistan. He let the haters fuel his success. That said, his +120 anytime goal scorer World Cup odds, the shortest on the board, are worth some action.
Leading the charge for Colombia is Daniel Munoz, who has scored in both of their matches. In what is expected to be a high-octane shootout, back Munoz to keep his streak going at a nice +2000 odds.
We’re leaning in a different direction on forward Luis Diaz, who also scored in the opening match, and assisted on Munoz’s goal in the second match. He has +180 odds to record a goal or assist.
