Portugal should control most of the game through midfield quality, possession, wide attacks, and offensive volume. With players like Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Vitinha, João Neves, Cancelo, Nuno Mendes, Leão/Neto and Cristiano/Ramos, Portugal have enough attacking depth to create multiple high-quality chances.

DR Congo are not an easy opponent. They are physical, direct, dangerous in transition, and have players like Wissa, Bakambu, Mbemba, Masuaku and Wan-Bissaka who can make the game uncomfortable. Because of that, I do not love Portugal -1.25 or -1.5 as the main pick. Portugal can win 2-1 and still fail or partially lose those handicap lines.
