Portugal great value for World Cup
Betting markets for the 2018 World Cup will be analysed and talked about right up until the June 14 kick-off.
The number 1 and 2 FIFA ranked teams, Germany and Brazil, are not surprisingly on the first two lines of Outright Winners betting.
However, number 3 ranked and reigning European champion Portugal are on the eighth line of betting win the cup, currently 26/1 $AUD (courtesy of Bet365).
A Seleção won 9 out of 10 games in Group B of the Euro qualifiers to finish on 27 points, equal with Switzerland but topped the group thanks to a +28 goal difference, which 12 more goals than the Swiss.
Boasting a star-studded lineup, including arguably the worlds best in Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal is primed to put their horror 2014 World Cup behind them, where they were knocked out of the group stages, and improve on their best result, third place way back in 1966.
My advice is to get on them now before their price drops!

Interesting group B - Portugal and Spain obvious favourites but Morocco and Iran could give Portugal a sterling fight I feel. Group F interests me as well; Germany, Sweden, Mexico and South Korea, makes for a fun few contests.
I am expecting, hoping, Portugal top their group. You are right about Group F, besides Germany it is open slather for a spot in the next round
I wouldn't even count out a solid Germany-Sweden slugfest in the group stages.
