Portugal – Congo DR Prediction

Portugal begin against a Congo DR side that defends as well as any team in the field — star power against collective resilience. Portugal carry obvious quality, but the Congolese keep things tight and strike selectively.

Portugal loaded but subdued

Strong overall numbers — a 0-2 loss to the USA, a 0-0 with Mexico, a 9-1 of Armenia, a 2-0 over Ireland and a 2-2 with Hungary — 2.6 scored and 1.0 conceded, though the last two friendlies brought no goals. Cristiano Ronaldo carries a thigh concern but is named, Ruben Dias is a doubt, and Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leao supply the creativity.

Congo's defensive steel

Sebastien Desabre's side are resolute — a 0-0 with Denmark, a 1-0 playoff win over Jamaica, a 2-0 of Bermuda, a 0-1 to Algeria and a 3-0 over Botswana — 1.2 scored and just 0.2 conceded. Rocky Bushiri is out injured; Chancel Mbemba marshals the back line with Yoane Wissa and Cedric Bakambu on the counter.

Patience required

The teams have no real history. The Portugal versus Congo DR prediction expects a tight night, Portugal needing patience to unlock a stubborn, well-drilled block.
