Cristiano Ronaldo helped ignite the Portugal World Cup 2026 campaign with a 5-0 demolition of Uzbekistan and the Iberians will now be looking to knock Colombia off top spot in their Group K finale in Miami.
Portugal have slipped to 10/1 to win their maiden World Cup after being held 1-1 by DR Congo in their opening match before bouncing back to thump Uzbekistan, with Ronaldo opening his account with a brace.
However, Roberto Martinez’s men still trail Colombia by two points heading to the Hard Rock Stadium and if they fail to win will likely have to take the tougher path going forwards.
Colombia lead the group after beating Uzbekistan 3-1 and DR Congo 1-0 and with a squad that boasts a host of players who have plied their trade in the Premier League , including James Rodriguez , Luis Diaz, David Ospina and Davinson Sanchez, they will not fear Portugal.
However, we think the reigning Nations League champions will snatch all three points and our opening Colombia vs Portugal prediction is for a Portuguese victory with BTTS @ 10/3 in a BOYLE Sports Price Boost.

Form Guides
Colombia form guide
Colombia missed out on the 2022 World Cup but reclaimed their place at the top table after finishing third behind Argentina and Ecuador in what was a roller-coasting qualifying campaign for La Tricolor. They started like a train, beating Argentina and Brazil during an eight-match unbeaten run, but then won just one of their next eight matches and had to wait until their penultimate fixture, a 3-0 win over Bolivia , to secure automatic qualification.
They finished off in style with a 6-3 win in Venezuela - Luis Suarez netting four - before carrying that improved form into their World Cup warm-ups, where they won four of six friendlies while narrowly losing to France and Croatia.
Luis Diaz was Colombia’s top scorer in qualifying with seven goals and he was also on the mark in their 3-1 World Cup-opening win over Uzbekistan , and among our World Cup tips today is for the Bayern Munich winger to notch again in the group decider @ 3/1.
Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz might also be worth considering @11/1. Munoz scored the opener against Uzbekistan and the only goal against DR Congo, while he has netted 11 times for the Eagles over the last 18 months.
Portugal form guide
Portugal’s results since sealing their World Cup spot with a final-day 9-1 drubbing of Armenia last November have been solid if unspectacular. They shared a goalless draw with Mexico before easing past the USA (2-0), Chile (2-1) and Nigeria (2-1 ), with Ronaldo failing to get his name on the scoresheet in that run.
He also drew a blank as the Portugal World Cup campaign began with surprising 1-1 draw with unfancied DR Congo , with Joao Neves’ early opener being cancelled out by Yoane Wissa.
But, with all of his main Golden Boot rivals already up and running, Ronaldo announced his arrival with two goals in the one-sided win over Uzbekistan. That was the record-breaking forward's 145th goal in his 230th game for his country and saw the 41-year-old become the first player to score in six different World Cups.
Ronaldo will have no intention of stopping there and, in another BOYLE Sports Price Boost , is 5/1 to grab at least two more against Colombia . We also like the look of Portugal to win after drawing a half-time @ 15/4 and that is also included in our World Cup tips today.
