Win Prediction
Portugal
Portugal look set to control this one because the recent edge is clear and the attacking quality shows up in the xG gap, with Uzbekistan’s goal threat coming across as limited.
Goals Forecast
Most likely score
Portugal 2-0, though a low-scoring 1-0 is also very plausible if Uzbekistan stay organised.
Handicap
Uzbekistan +2.25
Watch the early goal timing—if Portugal don’t score quickly, the draw risk rises in a game Uzbekistan can afford to make scrappy.
