It would be easy to look at Group K and think that Portugal will easily beat Colombia, DR Congo and Uzbekistan to top spot and continue on their merry way into the World Cup knockouts. However, the reality is that Portugal have perpetually underperformed on the biggest stage, so they likely won't find it easy.
The Iberian nation still boast Cristiano Ronaldo in what is almost certain to be his final chance at World Cup glory, and the way that they eased through qualifying will have some fearing them. What other teams won't be fearing is the fact that you have to go back to 2006 to find the last time Portugal got past the quarter-finals.
The odds at UK betting sites suggest that if any of the other three Group K teams are to take advantage, it will be Colombia. Nestor Lorenzo's men comfortably finished third in South American qualifying, and although they too have achieved very little of note at the World Cup in their history, they still remain an exceptionally talented outfit.

As well, Colombia are only a couple of years removed from losing the Copa America final to Argentina in extra time, a tournament that saw them top a group featuring Brazil and beat Uruguay in the semi-finals, so they may be a popular pick at football betting sites.
It's perhaps unfortunate that DR Congo and Uzbekistan have seen them put in a group with two excellent teams, but they'll still be hopeful they can snatch one of the eight third-place qualification spots. DR Congo's last go at the World Cup was back in 1974 as Zaire when their most noteworthy contribution was punting the ball upfield as Brazil were lining up to take a free kick.
Uzbekistan have never graced the biggest stage of football in their current state (they competed as part of USSR until 1990), and so they certainly won't roll over. Not only do they have one of the cooler nicknames in world football - the White Wolves - they reached the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup in 2023 and qualified for this World Cup by finishing second in a group that included Iran, UAE and Qatar.

Odds to Win Group K
It's little surprise that Portugal are clear favourites to win Group K at many in-play betting sites. However, Colombia will be circling and ready to take advantage of any slip-ups.
Odds to Qualify From Group K
With three teams qualifying from eight of the 12 groups, the odds on many teams to simply reach the next round are quite short at betting apps. DR Congo and Uzbekistan face off in each team's third match, and that could decide which of the pair finishes third to potentially reach the knockouts.
Group K Fixtures
As one of the last groups alphabetically, Group K doesn't kick off until what feels like an age after the first game. Here's a look at all six Group K fixtures:
- 17 June, 6pm - Portugal vs DR Congo - Houston Stadium
- 18 June, 3am - Uzbekistan vs Colombia - Mexico City Stadium
- 23 June, 6pm - Portugal vs Uzbekistan - Houston Stadium
- 24 June, 3am - Colombia vs DR Congo - Guadalajara Stadium
- 28 June, 12:30am - Colombia vs Portugal - Miami Stadium
- 28 June, 12:30am - DR Congo vs Uzbekistan - Atlanta Stadium
Group K Betting Tips
Although Portugal are pretty hefty favourites to top Group K, they've only managed to win their group in one of the last four World Cups and rarely look convincing on this stage.
So, with that in mind, it may be worth pivoting to Colombia. Los Cafeteros had a strong qualifying campaign with seven wins and seven draws in 18 games and look well-equipped to take advantage of any Portugal weakness.
Back Colombia to win Group K at 11/4 with bet365.
