Portugal (#9 FIFA) heavily favored against DR Congo (#64). Portuguese technical superiority and depth should overwhelm DR Congo's physical but disorganized defense. Expect controlled possession and clinical finishing. Ronaldo's leadership will be key. Clear win for Portugal.

DR Congo (#64) vs Uzbekistan (#74). Two lower-ranked sides with contrasting styles: DR Congo's physicality vs Uzbekistan's organization. Both lack firepower. A low-scoring draw seems likely, with set pieces pivotal. Bakambu's aerial threat could make the difference.
