World Cup 2026: Portugal vs Colombia Tips, Prediction & Odds

* Prices from Betway, accurate when this was written.

Portugal meet Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Sunday morning, kicking off at 01:30 CAT in the last round of Group K games. A win would put Portugal top of the group, while Colombia have already booked their knockout spot and could look to save their legs.

Portugal 

Portugal bounced back from a frustrating draw with Congo DR by hammering Uzbekistan five goals to nil, with Cristiano Ronaldo netting twice. Ronaldo still leads the attack, with Bruno Fernandes running things behind him. Ruben Dias has a slight knock but should start in defence. With first place and an easier path through the draw up for grabs, I think Roberto Martinez will pick a strong team.

Expected Lineup: Costa; Cancelo, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; Vitinha, Neves; B. Silva, Fernandes, Felix; Ronaldo.

Colombia

Colombia have been superb, winning both games to go through with a match still to play. James Rodriguez is still the creative heart of the team, and the two Luis’, Diaz and Suarez, are their biggest dangers in the final third. With their place already sealed, there is a good chance Nestor Lorenzo will rest key men or take his foot off the gas. As I see it, a changed Colombia side might be missing their usual bite against a fired up Portugal.

Expected Lineup: Vargas; Munoz, Lucumi, D. Sanchez, Mojica; Lerma, Puerta, Arias; James, L. Suarez, L. Diaz.

Portugal need the win more and have the firepower to punish Colombia if they ease off. I think Colombia will still be dangerous on the break, but Portugal should do enough to win a game with goals at both ends. My forecast: Portugal 2 Colombia 1.

BTTS: Yes (1.87)

I am going with both teams to score. Colombia have scored in every group match and Portugal looked loose in their draw with Congo DR. Even a changed Colombia side has danger in Diaz, so I think both teams will score and 1.87 is good value.
