Portugal vs Uzbekistan Predictions – Group K (Match 5)

A must-win clash for Roberto Martinez and Portugal after sharing the points with DR Congo in their opener last week.

Martinez’s side dominated possession but managed only nine shots, a disappointing result after Portugal won three consecutive friendlies leading into the World Cup.

As expected, tournament debutants Uzbekistan suffered a 3-1 defeat to Colombia, although there were brief moments for celebration after Abbosbek Fayzullaev equalised in the 60th minute.

At the same time, Uzbekistan failed to record a single touch inside Colombia’s penalty area during the first half, which spells obvious trouble against a dangerous Portugal lineup featuring Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and the embattled Cristiano Ronaldo – who has come under fire for a disappointing performance last week.

Prediction: Portugal (-2 Goals) @ $2.30

Value: Both Teams to Score @ $2.45

Player Prop: Cristiano Ronaldo to Have 3+ Shots on Target @ $1.85
