Portugal vs Uzbekistan Tips
Portugal To Win To Nil
Selection: Portugal to win to nil
Current odds: $1.72
Odds subject to change.
Portugal were held to a 1-1 draw by Congo DR, but this looks a good spot to respond. They have the stronger squad across the park and should control possession for long periods. Uzbekistan struggled to create clear chances against Colombia and have not shown enough in attack to suggest they can consistently trouble Portugal here.
Cristiano Ronaldo 5+ Total Shots
Selection: Cristiano Ronaldo 5+ total shots
Current odds: $1.83
Odds subject to change.
Ronaldo had a quiet opener by his standards, and that usually means he will be keen to get heavily involved next time out. Portugal should spend plenty of time in the attacking third, giving him enough service to fire off attempts. Even if he is not at his sharpest, the volume angle looks a fair betting play.
Pedro Neto To Score Or Assist
Selection: Pedro Neto to score or assist
Current odds: $2.05
Odds subject to change.
Pedro Neto was one of Portugal’s better attacking outlets in their opening game and had a hand in the early goal. His pace and direct running should cause problems against an Uzbekistan side likely to sit deep. At better than even-money odds, he looks good value to register a goal contribution.
Portugal 2-0 Correct Score
Selection: Portugal 2-0
Current odds: $6.50
Odds subject to change.
Portugal should have enough quality to win, but Uzbekistan are unlikely to completely fall apart. They have not been regularly blown away in recent matches, so a controlled Portugal win looks more likely than a huge scoreline. A 2-0 result fits the expected pattern if Portugal dominate without turning it into a rout.
Best Bet
Portugal to win to nil @ $1.72
Portugal have the class edge, the motivation to bounce back and a strong chance of keeping Uzbekistan quiet in attack.
Portugal should get their World Cup campaign moving with a professional win, while the player markets around Ronaldo and Neto add extra value.
