What can Cristiano Ronaldo possibly do to top his opening performance in the 2018 World Cup? He and his Portugal teammates are favoured to get by Morocco on Wednesday but a win for Atlas Lions wouldn’t even rank as one of the top three biggest upsets of the tournament.

World Cup 2018: Portugal vs. Morocco Odds and Betting Analysis

World Cup Betting Odds: Portugal -192

Date: Wednesday, June 20, 9 p.m. ET

Ronaldo’s hat trick against Spain was enough for Portugal to steal a point in their opening group stage match. The Navigators are -660 to qualify from Group B and Ronaldo is the new favourite to take home the Golden Boot award as the tournament’s leading scorer at +211.

Bettors should remember that Ronaldo’s history at the World Cup hasn’t lived up to his legendary status. His hat trick on Match Day 1 doubled his World Cup scoring total to six and Portugal failed to advance to the knockout stages at the 2014 World Cup.

Morocco are trying to pick themselves off the mat following their dramatic loss to Iran last week.  The Atlas Lions conceded an own goal in extra time and lost 1-0 to the pre-tournament favourite to finish last place in Group B.

Despite the ill-timed gaffe, Morocco have still only conceded four goals in their last 11 matches in all competitions. Sports Interaction is offering +358 odds for Portugal to stay off the scoresheet against Morocco.

Portugal

The motivation may be waning to win first place in Group B for Portugal. The first place team will likely play Uruguay while the Group B runner-up will probably face Russia. The host team is coming off two dominant wins on the score line, but there’s no denying Uruguay’s superiority in terms of player talent on the pitch.

Ronaldo will continue to play in the most advanced role for Portugal and Sports Interaction lists the Real Madrid star at -142 to add to his tournament goal tally on Wednesday.

Morocco

This African team faces the daunting task of having to earn points against two of the top 10 teams in the world according to the FIFA rankings. Portugal, the defending Euro Cup champions, are first up with Spain, the second fave (+505) to win the tournament, on deck.

Portugal vs. Morocco Prediction

Portugal 2, Morocco 1: The Atlas Lions blew their chance at advancing from Group B with that awful own goal against Iran. They’ll play hard but won’t be able to keep a clean sheet against Ronaldo and Co.
