World Cup 2026 R32 Portugal vs. Croatia Predictions and Picks

Portugal and Croatia meet in the World Cup 2026 Round of 32 at BMO Field in Toronto on July 2, with kickoff at 7:00 PM ET. Portugal enter as modest favorites at -125, while Croatia, priced at +400, arrive as the underdog looking to extend their record of deep tournament runs under Zlatko Dalić.

The money line reflects Portugal’s superior group-stage output. Roberto Martínez’s side posted five goals in a 5-0 demolition of Uzbekistan and kept a clean sheet against group winners Colombia, advancing from Group K as runners-up. Croatia came through Group L the harder way, conceding four in an opening loss to England before winning back-to-back games against Panama and Ghana to clinch second place. Portugal’s world Cup 2026 R32 Portugal vs. Croatia odds open a clear gap in class on paper, yet the head-to-head record suggests Croatia can make this uncomfortable.
