Like Saturday’s Pacquiao vs Cotto odds, the matchup between Portugal and Bosnia Herzegovina has a heavy favorite. Can Bosnia Herzegovina inspire Cotto and pull off a massive win in your sportsbook?
Portugal vs Bosnia Herzegovina
Saturday, November 14
Estadio Dr. Magalhaes Pessoa, Lieria, Portugal
Kick-Off: 3:30 PM ET
Portugal
Portugal snuck into the playoffs by winning their last two games by a combined 7-0 score, and many are wondering where all that scoring was leading up to the last international break. Simao leads the way with four goals while Nani has added three, and they’ll have to keep it up as Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to play. The World Player of the Year has an ankle knock and has been named in the squad, but Real Madrid would rather he sit this one out at the risk of Portugal’s offshore sportsbook odds.
Bosnia Herzegovina
The Bosnians finished second to Spain in their group, and Edin Dzeko has nine goals in 10 matches. Bosnia has scored 25 goals as a team, and allowed only 13, so they’re a very well-balanced squad. Portugal would do well to watch the Spanish games against Bosnia, as Spain outscored them 6-2 in a pair of wins.
Prediction
Portugal is a massive -290 favorite in this contest, while Bosnia comes in at +675, and a draw is rated at +300. This will be an open game as both like to pass the ball around, but Bosnia may pull it back a bit in the first leg of these two-leg playoffs, and try to sneak an away goal. Without Ronaldo, Portugal looks like more of a team, and that will push them to a win on Saturday.
Portugal vs Bosnia Herzegovina sportsbook pick: Portugal -290
