Group K Best Bet
Best Bet: Portugal to win Group K at typical $1.50-$1.70 with bet365.

Group K Predicted Finish
Group K is one of the closer-than-the-prices groups. Portugal are favourites but Colombia’s technical quality plus Luis Díaz’s elite form makes this a genuine 2-horse race for 1st. DR Congo have qualified for the first time since 1974.
Predicted final standings:
1. Portugal, 2. Colombia, 3. DR Congo, 4. Uzbekistan
