Main Match Prediction
We think Portugal are a value bet off -2 on the Asian Handicap. Take the -102 that the favourites are able to convincingly win this World Cup game with a nice potential return on the cards.
Portugal possess one of the most talented squads in the tournament and arguably the strongest midfield at the World Cup. Roberto Martínez has an abundance of talent at his disposal, with Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, Bernardo Silva and Joao Neves forming an outstanding unit in the centre of the park.
Portugal should have taken all three points from their opener, a view supported by both the underlying stats and xG data. Uzbekistan, meanwhile, struggled to make an impact against Colombia and we expect Portugal's superior class to shine through in what could prove to be a comfortable victory.
Our team of experts monitor the current World Cup injuries and suspensions. When integrated with the latest form, this helps us secure the value odds. Our data-led approach backed up by key stats always proves useful.
