Cristiano Ronaldo's Odds to Score vs. Uzbekistan

Charlie Zschau Published: 1 hour ago

Cristian Ronaldo and Portugal face Uzbekistan in their second match of the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday, in Houston, TX.

Portugal tied DR Congo 1-1 in their opening match, and will look to notch their first win of the tournament against Uzbekistan.

41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo played all 90 minutes of the match against the Dr Congo but was unable to get on the scoresheet.

CR7 took three shots on just 25 touches, but none of them found the back of the net or even forced a save from Congolese goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi-Nzau.

Ronaldo will be eager to get off the mark against Uzbekistan after watching his rival Lionel Messi score five goals in two games for Argentina while breaking the World Cup goal scoring record.

The Portuguese attacker has competed against Lionel Messi for nearly his entire career, and although he has scored more goals than the Argentinian legend, Ronaldo has not been quite as successful as his counterpart.

Ronaldo does hold the record for the most international goals scored (143) and was the first player to score in five consecutive World Cup tournaments, but despite this milestone, criticism often points to the fact that all eight of his World Cup goals have been scored during the group stage.

Cristiano Ronaldo is priced at -175 to score against Uzbekistan, which would make him the only player to score in six consecutive World Cups.
