Colombia vs Portugal
Likely line-up






















📖 The Preview
Colombia are no pushovers and at 38% they're very much in this, but Portugal edge it on the day with a 1-2 win. Both teams are expected to find the net, and with over 2.5 goals on the cards this should be an open, entertaining game. Colombia will likely get their goal and make Portugal work for it, but Portugal's quality proves just enough to nick it in the end. It's tight, the margins are small, but Portugal come away with all three points.
