Group K Best Bet

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

Portugal to top Group K at $1.50-$1.70 but it’s the value-side play: Colombia to top Group K at $3.20-$3.80 has structural merit.

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
