Tough test for Portugal against Colombia
Colombia sit at the top of Group K in the 2026 FIFA World Cup edition with three points on the board from their opening game, while Portugal are third with one point after a stalemate in their opener.
Néstor Lorenzo has been at the helm of the Colombian national team since June 2022 and has built a young side that is tough to break down and extremely dangerous on the break.
Colombia's 4-2-3-1 has a double pivot that sit and defend while the wingers provide quick transitions and creativity ahead of the main striker. That has seen Colombia win their last three consecutive matches, while they've scored ten goals across their previous five.
Gustavo Puerta created the assist for Colombia's opening goal in Group K as Daniel Munoz made an immediate impact in their 3-1 win over Uzbekistan.
Roberto Martinez has guided Portugal since January 2023 and in that time has built a side around his typical possession style, with a flexible 4-3-3 that can control midfield and overload the attacking third with creativity.
Joao Neves has been their brightest spark in this World Cup, opening his account with a goal in Group K, while Pedro Neto has continued to be Portugal's creative hub with an assist in his only game.
Portugal are the narrow favourites at 51/50 but we feel Colombia are priced very generously at 14/5 for this fixture, so we're taking the underdog.
This will be a true test for both sides, with Portugal's technical control looking to disrupt Colombia's transition game and vice versa. We think a draw at 49/20 looks good value, while Jhon Arias, who has scored three goals in his last five for Colombia, could be the most likely scorer.
