Top spot in Group K is on the line when Colombia meets Portugal in the early hours of Sunday morning and this is one match you won’t want to miss. Already through to the knockouts, Colombia requires a point to top the table. Portugal will need all three points if they are to clinch top spot. So with a more favourable route in the knockouts for the group winner, neither side will be taking this one easy.Portugal are the favourite with the bookmakers, but they are odds-on, and that looks a risky bet. Colombia have been flawless, and they have every chance of upsetting a Portugal team that looked flat against DR Congo and still can’t put an end to questions about Ronaldo’s impact on the team. The uncertainty makes a bet on the outcome of the game unrealistic, so instead I’ve put together a three-leg bet builder at 6.6/1 that perfectly fits the match narrative.Colombia vs Portugal Match DetailsDate: Sunday, June 28, 2026Kick-off: 12.30am BSTVenue: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, FloridaCompetition: FIFA World Cup 2026, Group K, Matchday 3TV channel: BBC1 and BBC iPlayerOur 6.6/1 Bet Builder: Both teams to score, Luis Diaz over 0.5 shots on target, Bruno Fernandes to provide an assistBoth teams have found the net in their two World Cup matches and with both also possessing explosive firepower, I can see that trend continuing. Luis Diaz scored from his one shot on target against Uzbekistan and had also hit the target twice against DR Congo. As for Bruno, he provided one assist in Portugal’s 5-0 win over Uzbekistan and he could easily have had more had his side been more clinical in front of goal.Both teams to score – 10/11 with SBKLuis Diaz over 0.5 shots on target – 5/8 with SBKBruno Fernandes to provide an assist – 27/10 with SBKColombia vs Portugal bet builder breakdownBoth teams to scoreWhy: Portugal needs to win this match if they are to finish top of the group and play one of the best third-place teams in the Round of 32. If they don’t win, Roberto Martinez’s team will face either England, Ghana, or Croatia in the first knockout round.The Portuguese were also one of the pre-tournament favourites and have plenty of attacking talent, with arguably one of the strongest midfields in the competition. It seems unthinkable that they will sit back and accept a point to guarantee second place in the table.Colombia looks like a strong team who have the ability to go deep into the competition. They may settle for a draw to enable them to top the group, but it is more likely to be a scoring draw than 0-0.Stat: Portugal have scored in eight of their last ten matches, and Colombia have scored in nine of their previous ten. Portugal has to chase this game and an early goal should see the match open up with chances at both ends. Bet on both teams to score at 10/11 with SBK Luis Diaz over 0.5 shots on target Why: Luis Diaz is Colombia’s star player and a lot of their potential success depends on how the Bayern Munich forward performs. So far he has one goal and one assist, both coming in Colombia’s 3-1 win over UzbekistanDiaz had a quieter game in Colombia’s 1-0 win over DR Congo, but he still managed two shots on target. Stat: Diaz has hit the target in both of Colombia’s World Cup matches. The team as a whole is creating plenty of chances, they had 15 shots against Uzbekistan and 20 shots against DR Congo. As one of the focal points of Colombia’s attack, Diaz is always going to be a goal threat. And if Portugal are pushing forward leaving space in behind, Diaz is well equipped to exploit the gaps. Back Luis Diaz to have over 0.5 shots on target at 5/8 with SBK Bruno Fernandes to provide an assistWhy: Fernandes provided a ridiculous 21 assists in the Premier League for Manchester United last season. He is at the heart of this Portugal team, and even though his numbers at international level don’t match his recent club stats, he is still creating chances. Stat: Portugal got off to a slow start against DR Congo, but hit back with a commanding 5-0 win over Uzbekistan. Despite the lack of creativity against Congo, Fernandes has still managed to create three big chances at the World Cup and has an xA of 1.02.

He is well able to get in behind Portugal’s attacking full-backs and exploit the space. Bruno to assist: We’ve seen it in the Premier League all season. Fernandes is pinpoint accurate. It goes without saying he will create chances. It’s on others to put them away.Portugal needs to win: Portugal can’t afford to let this game drift and have to attack, and that makes them vulnerable to conceding on the transitionWhy we are backing this bet builderAll three selections are well thought out, backed up with stats and are perfectly suited to this match situation.Portugal will dominate the possession. Given all their attacking weapons, they are likely to score. They were flat in their opening match against DR Congo, but they got their act together and smashed a poor-looking Uzbekistan 5-0 in their second outing.If Portugal score, Bruno has a great chance of being involved. I would have backed him to score or assist, but for the presence of Ronaldo, who will no doubt have priority over free kicks and will take penalties. However, Bruno has the ability to assist from open play, and the odds on him to just assist are far better than his score or assist odds.While Roberto Martinez’s team go in search of the goals that could win them the match, they will inevitably be exposed at the back. Luis Diaz has already shown he’s a man for the big occasion, and cutting in from the left, I have little doubt he will hit the target at least once. All three legs have a great chance of winning and I’m backing them in a Bet Builder at 6.6/1 with SBK.Colombia vs Portugal OddsGiven the results and performances of both teams at the World Cup, these odds look very harsh on Colombia. Portugal has the big names and the pedigree, but Colombia looks to be getting undervalued here by the bookmakers.Colombia win – 16/5 with SBKDraw – 14/5 with SBKPortugal win – 9/10 with SBKColombia vs Portugal match prediction and line-upsColombia are through to the next stage, but they will still want to win the group and avoid a tricky Round of 32 match. Portugal may have won the Nations League 12 months ago, but they have still to maximise their undoubted potential under the leadership of Roberto Martinez at a major competition. Captained by Ronaldo, there is still a debate about whether the legendary striker is more help than hindrance to his team. He did score twice in his last outing against Uzbekistan, but the questions still remain and he will have to provide the goods on a bigger stage to shut his doubters up. A scoring draw looks the most likely outcome here, I’m going for 1-1 or 2-2. Colombia predictions: Expect Colombia to stick to their tried and tested 4-3-3 formation. Head coach Néstor Lorenzo may be forced to tinker with his line-up if Sporting striker Luis Suarez is still feeling the effects of the shoulder injury that forced him off against DR Congo. That aside, Lorenzo is unlikely to change much.Predicted XI: Vargas, Mojica, Lucumi, Sanchez, Munoz, Lerma, Arias, Puerta, Rodriguez, Suarez, Diaz.Portugal predictions: Roberto Martinez looks set to stick with the midfield trio of Vitinha, Fernandes and Joao Neves, meaning there is still no room for Bernardo Silva. There is an argument for Rafael Leao coming into the team in place of Felix in the front three, but it may be harsh to make changes to a team that won 5-0 in its last outing.Predicted XI: Costa, Cancelo, Mendes, Dias, Veiga, Neves, Vitinha, Fernandes, Neto, Felix, Ronaldo.World Cup 2026: More from talkSPORTWorld Cup 2026 Betting offersWorld Cup 2026 Betting tips and predictionsWorld Cup 2026 AI predictionsWorld Cup 2026 Betting guideWorld Cup 2026 Top goalscorer oddsEngland to win World Cup 2026 oddsWorld Cup 2026: Best young player oddsAbout the authorDean EtheridgeDean Etheridge is an experienced freelance sports betting writer who specialises in football, cricket, and darts, with a keen focus on the Premier League and Champions League, as well as in-depth coverage of Premier League Darts and major tournaments.
