Group K of the 2026 World Cup includes Portugal, Colombia, Congo and Uzbekistan.
According to the prediction of Opta supercomputer, Portugal is rated highest with 94.9% chance of passing the group stage and 59% chance of winning the top spot. Coach Roberto Martinez's team possesses a balanced, experienced force and continues to be considered a championship candidate.
The focus of attention is still Cristiano Ronaldo, who is facing the opportunity to become the first player to participate in six World Cups and also the only one to have scored in 5 different finals.
Meanwhile, Colombia is predicted to have a 84.9% chance of advancing. The South American representative has just entered the 2024 Copa America final and possesses a formidable attack with Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez. In the South American regional qualifiers, Colombia scored 28 goals, only behind Argentina.
In the remaining group, Congo and Uzbekistan are underestimated but still have the right to hope.
Congo returned to the World Cup after more than half a century of waiting, with faith in Cedric Bakambu and Yoane Wissa.
Uzbekistan participated in the biggest football festival on the planet for the first time, impressing by losing only one match throughout the qualifying campaign. Eldor Shomurodov continues to be the biggest hope of the Central Asian representative.
