Colombia will be looking to make it three wins from three as they face Portugal during the early hours of Sunday morning with World Cup Group K set to reach a conclusion.
The South Americans defeated Uzbekistan and DR Congo to seal a place in the knockout stages with a game to spare, but this clash with Portugal will be their toughest test yet.
Despite opening up with a draw against DR Congo, Portugal bounced back in style with a 5-0 thumping of Uzbekistan and a win in Miami will see them leapfrog La Tricolor and finish top of the group.
Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the first player to score at six World Cups in the Uzbekistan win and he will be in the mood for more goals.
Bet on Portugal at the World Cup.

Colombia v Portugal Prediction
Best Bet: Portugal to win @ 19/20
Portugal will be eyeing up a similar sort of attacking display to the one they produced against Uzbekistan.
Should Roberto Martinez’s side finish second in the group, they could be placed in the same quarter of the draw as Spain, depending on how results pan out.
Winning the group, though, ensures a slightly easier path to the quarter-finals, although Argentina are potential opponents should both win their first two knockout matches.
Regardless, a win will set up Martinez’s men nicely, especially after an underwhelming performance against DR Congo in their tournament opener.
Los Cafeteros are certainly no slouches and will cause plenty of problems for the Portuguese, but with the chance of topping the group, expect Selecao to perform.
Alternative Bet: Cristiano Ronaldo to score anytime @ 11/10
Ronaldo was disappointing in the opening draw with DR Congo, failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.
Against Uzbekistan, however, the 41-year-old scored a brace and he will be looking to add to his tally against Colombia.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar has never scored against South American opposition at the World Cup before, but what a time to end that drought, especially with first place in the group up for grabs.
Colombia will be harder to break down than Uzbekistan, but with plenty of confidence gained from that win over the White Wolves, expect Ronaldo to leave his mark once again on the grandest stage of all.
Colombia v Portugal Bet Builder Tip
Both teams to score
Over 3 goals
Luis Diaz 1+ shot on target
Pays 6/1
This match could be one of the most entertaining of the group stages, especially given the attacking quality that both nations possess.
While this is a straight fight to decide who tops the group, there could be plenty of chances at both ends of the pitch, with four of Colombia’s last six matches featuring goals at both ends.
Prior to the 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, Portugal had conceded in their three previous matches against DR Congo, Nigeria and Chile and, while they remain excellent going forward, their defence can have momentary lapses in concentration.
Dating back to November 2025, three or more goals have been scored in six of Colombia's last eight matches, including in their opener against Uzbekistan.
Portugal have scored at least twice in four of their previous five matches and given what is at stake in Miami this weekend, expect this clash to feature plenty of goals.
Nestor Lorenzo will rely on talisman Luis Diaz to spearhead La Tricolor to a positive result.
The Bayern Munich winger scored and provided an assist in the opening match and, while he didn’t register a goal contribution last time out, he still managed two shots on target during the game.
As such, expect Diaz to cause the Portuguese backline all sorts of problems when these two nations meet.
