Colombia vs Portugal

Colombia come into this match on a four-game winning run in all competitions, including World Cup wins over Uzbekistan by 3-1 and DR Congo by 1-0. Portugal are also in strong shape, losing only once in their last six matches and most recently beating Uzbekistan 5-0 in the World Cup. With this being a neutral-site game for both sides, the safest weighting is on recent form and the available market data, and the current 1X2 prices still make Portugal the clearer favorite compared with the opener. However, the head-to-head data is limited and there are no confirmed lineups, so a conservative view is that Portugal are more likely to edge it than to win comfortably.
