Portugal will be aiming to record their first victory of the 2026 World Cup finals when they take on Uzbekistan in an important Group K clash. As Portugal face a must-win situation against Uzbekistan, we predict a 3-1 triumph for the group favourites. Roberto Martinez's men were held to a 1-1 draw by DR Congo in their opening match, a result that left plenty of room for improvement despite Portugal controlling large spells of the game. Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to continue leading the line despite his poor performance in the opener, while Francisco Conceicao is widely tipped to start after providing a spark from the bench. Portugal's recent numbers remain impressive, with six wins from their last ten matches, 2.2 goals scored per game, and a strong expected goals average of 2.18.
Uzbekistan, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 defeat to Colombia in their World Cup opener. While they showed determination throughout the contest, defensive lapses proved costly against the South American side. Rustam Ashurmatov is likely to miss out through injury, which would be a significant blow to Uzbekistan's back line, while Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov must be careful as he sits one yellow card away from suspension. The White Wolves have struggled in recent outings, losing three consecutive matches and averaging just 1.1 goals scored per game across their last ten fixtures.
As Portugal have a stronger squad and need all three points after their draw with DR Congo, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Conceicao to Score or Assist and Over 2.5 goals (Portugal average 3.2 total goals per match and should create plenty of chances).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Tuesday 23 June 2026 at 18:00.
