LiontipsColombia vs Portugal: betting tip (cf 1.87) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
By the final round, Colombia is approaching the status of group leaders with six points in the asset. The national team has already guaranteed itself a place in the playoffs. Today, the Colombians will even be satisfied with a draw in order to retain the first place. Nestor Lorenzo's team scored victories over Uzbekistan (3:1) and DR Congo (1:0). These results did not cause any surprise, the national team confirmed the status of the favorite, taking advantage of its experience in many ways, especially in the match against Uzbekistan. It should be noted that Colombia, regardless of the opponent, does not seek to play in a closed manner, actively uses the flanks, where Mojica and Munoz are great. This tactic has paid off in the two matches played, but it is far from certain that it will work with Portugal, which makes excellent use of free space.

Current form
At the start of the World Cup, Portugal lost points with the national team of DR Congo (1:1). In that meeting, nothing worked out in the positional attack, there was not enough speed in the development of attacks. Roberto Martinez clearly worked on his mistakes and in the second round his team defeated Uzbekistan 5-0. Everything was decided in the first half, when they led 3-0, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a double. With this victory, the Portuguese demonstrated that it is not worth discounting them immediately after one unsuccessful game. With four points, the team takes second place. Only if you win today will you be able to finish first.

Araujo's entry into the field is questionable.

Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, the fate of the first place in the group is being decided, it is unlikely that we will see a serious rotation of the squads. Portugal could not beat Congo, the opponent in that meeting successfully slowed down the pace, there was no speed in the development of attacks, Ronaldo did not play the best match, he often slowed down the game. Colombia is not one of those teams that rely only on defense, on playing the second number.
The wards of Nestor Lorenzo are not afraid to go forward with large forces, they actively use the flanks. This approach will clearly benefit the Portuguese, who, due to the speed and individual skill of individual players, make great use of free space, while Neto, Leau and Mendes will break into free zones and launch quick vertical attacks. Plus, Portugal only needs a win to finish in first place. We expect Martinez's team to score three points.
Our betting tip is that Portugal will win by a factor of 1.87
Bet on the total
Considering that the Colombians do not close at their gates, it is logical to expect a productive game. The opponents have no particular problems with scoring goals. Colombia has hit the opponent's goal in eight consecutive matches, and Portugal in five previous meetings. We expect that there will be an exchange of goals scored today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.80
Betting on corners
Portugal have taken more corners than their opponents in eight consecutive matches. Roberto Martinez's team is extremely motivated to win today, and they will obviously spend a lot of time at other people's gates. We expect the Portuguese angular trend to work.
Prediction – Portugal wins on corners with a coefficient of 1.55
