There’s a lot to play for, and thanks to our betting bonus tip, you can enjoy the game in style. So read on to discover our expert sports betting prediction for the game.

Portugal’s debut World Cup campaign is already in jeopardy, and defeat here would leave their qualification hopes in tatters. That being said, their performance in the defeat to the Dutch was encouraging and they will be confident of claiming their first ever victory on the big stage.

Prior to that defeat, Portugal had only lost one of their previous five games, including a valiant 0-0 against England and a fine 2-0 win over Ukraine.

In many ways, Vietnam have exceeded expectations just by making the World Cup. The opening day defeat to the US was lopsided, but given the strength of their opponents, Vietnam performed admirably.

The problem for Vietnam is that they have hit a losing run at the worst possible time. In their previous four games (all defeats), they have conceded 16 goals and scored just one. Despite their opponent's lack of tournament experience, it is hard to see Vietnam causing an upset here.

Portugal and Vietnam have never played each other before and this is the first time either side has reached the World Cup.

Given the lack of a head to head record, our statistical highlights look at the recent form of the two sides. It is all aimed at helping you find the best football betting odds for the game.

Most betting apps have Vietnam as huge outsiders here. You can get them at around 28/1, whilst Portugal are as short as 2/17. If you think a shock draw could be on the cards, you will find this option at 10/1.

In all honesty, this is not a great game for betting fans. Portugal are highly likely to win, but the odds of 2/17 don’t exactly scream value. If you are looking for a punt on the game, then we suggest the Evens for Portugal to win, but with under 3.5 goals in the game.

Vietnam showed enough resilience against the US to suggest they will not roll over here. Expect them to put up a strong fight, but ultimately come up short against their more established opponents.
