Portugal

Portugal had a torrid time in qualifying and made it through in the Playoffs again Bosnia in the end. They need to up their game at the World Cup Finals but that is something they are well capable of doing.

Top World Cup Bets On Portugal at the World Cup

Portugal To Finish Third In Their Group

Portugal looked a team to take on at the World Cup after their qualifying campaign which saw them struggle to qualification in a playoff against Boznia Herzegovina. Then they were drawn alongside Brazil and Ivory Coast and they looked destined for third.

Lay Portugal To Reach The Final

Despite Portugal looking fairly likely to go out at the group stage, they are still relatively well fancied in the outright betting. Even if Portugal managed to grab second spot they would play Spain in the next round so whatever happens it seems impossible the could reach the final.

Lay Cristiano Ronaldo To Place In The Golden Boot Market

Ronaldo didn't score a single goal in qualifying and with Portugal likely to only get three or four games at the World Cup it seems impossible Ronaldo could score enough goals to even place in the Golden Boot betting.

Back Portugal To Win To Nil Against North Korea

One compliment we can give Portugal is they have become very good defensively, they kept nine clean sheets in twelve qualifying games and with North Korea being very poor it is hard to see past this bet.

Best Exchange Bet Or Trade On Portugal

Lay Portugal To Make The Final 8 at 3.5

Portugal World Cup Odds are fairly well fancied by the bookies despite a troubled passage to South Africa and their price to reach the last eight seems very short. On that basis it is recommended that you lay them to reach the the last eight and let the bet ride, they could well exit at the group stages.

Best Spread Bet On Portugal

Sell Portugal in The Group G Index at 11.5

Winner: 25pts; Runner-up: 10pts; Third: 5pts; Fourth: 0pts.

Portugal are set with a tough group. We think Ivory Coast could qualify ahead of them but even if Portugal make 2nd place, there would only be a small loss on this bet.
