Portugal vs Uzbekistan Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Portugal
- Odds: -556 (Tonybet)
Portugal endured a rough start to their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, settling for a 1-1 draw against DR Congo despite controlling 75% possession. They translated that dominance into just seven shots (one on target) and 0.65 xG, so it was far from a dominant performance from Roberto Martínez’s men. They need to capitalise on their chances to get back to winning ways.
Fortunately for them, they face an Uzbekistan side that lost 3-1 to Colombia in their first-ever World Cup game and looked defensively overmatched throughout. The Uzbeks are expected to sit deep and play on the counter, but their realistic target in this group is the matchup against DR Congo rather than this fixture.
In a clash between the world’s fifth- and 50th-ranked teams, Portugal’s experience and individual quality should ultimately tip the scales in their favour. Several favourites have faltered against lower-ranked opponents, but after a lacklustre opener, the Seleção should get the job done here to extend their ongoing six-game undefeated streak (W4, D2).
Portugal vs Uzbekistan Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Cristiano Ronaldo to score anytime
- Odds: -159 (Tonybet)
Cristiano Ronaldo came under heavy criticism after the draw against DR Congo, where he didn’t have a single shot on target and failed to make a big impact.
However, this looks like the ideal match for Ronaldo to silence his doubters and carry Portugal to victory. Even at 41 years old, he remains an imposing figure who should feast against an inexperienced Uzbekistan defensive line.
Portugal vs Uzbekistan Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Portugal to get more corners + Both teams not to score + Bruno Fernandes to record an assist
- Odds: +400 (Tonybet)
Our three-leg parlay paints a clear picture with Portugal dominating the contest almost entirely.
They won the corner battle 5-4 against DR Congo, and that trend should continue in another game where their possession numbers should hover around 65-70%. Portugal have also kept four clean sheets in their last nine outings, and the return of Rúben Dias to the defensive line should provide a significant boost.
If the Seleção win, expect Bruno Fernandes to make an impact as a playmaker. The Manchester United player is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world and registered 21 assists in the 2025-26 Premier League season with the Red Devils. He should be at the centre of all attacks as a creative, disruptive threat in the final third.

Portugal Team News
Portugal are likely to revamp their defensive line for this match. Rúben Dias is set to return to the starting lineup after missing the opener with a minor injury. Gonçalo Inácio could also be back in the mix. Meanwhile, Tomás Araújo won’t be available due to an undisclosed injury, and Renato Veiga is expected to drop to the bench.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains the biggest talking point. Despite failing to register a single shot on target against DR Congo, he’s expected to retain his place and lead the line once again, ahead of alternatives such as Rafael Leão and Gonçalo Ramos.
Uzbekistan Team News
Uzbekistan are unlikely to make major changes following their World Cup opener against Colombia. Jaloliddin Masharipov remains unavailable due to a back injury, and it remains to be seen whether he’ll be fit to feature at any point during the tournament.

Rustamjon Ashurmatov is dealing with a calf injury and is also likely to be sidelined, although he will be assessed closer to kickoff. Key players Abdukodir Khusanov and Eldor Shomurodov should carry the team on defence and offence, respectively.
