Portugal World Cup Betting

Portugal are one of the super powers of European football and will be a dangerous outfit in South Africa despite not being quite as strong as they were at the last World Cup, at least on paper anyway. Last time out in Germany2006 the Portuguese went all the way to the Semi-Final before going out and they will do well to match that this time around in South Africa. To make things tougher for them they have drawn alongside Brazil, Ivory Coast and North Korea in Group G in what could be the toughest of all the sections.

The current Portugal squad is Managed by Carlos Queiroz who is a former coach at Man united and Head Coach at Real Madrid, Queiroz has struggled slightly during qualification to live up to the standards set by previous Manager Luis Felipe Scolari. The squad is still full of talent with Ronaldo being their star player, he is capable of changing a match on his own so if he fires then Portugal can beat anyone. Also in the squad are the likes of Deco and Ricardo Carvalho who although are probably past their best are still plying their trade for Chelsea at the top level.

Current Form and Chances

Portugal are not in great form at the moment although their results did start to pick up at the end of the qualification campaign which will boost their confidence ahead of South Africa. If they go to the World Cup with a fully fit and on form squad then they should be a match for anyone, but we fell they have peaked as a team in 2006 and reckon the best they can hope for is a Quarter-Final spot.
