Portugal v Chile Betting Preview – Confederations Cup 28th June
Chile could only manage a surprising draw against Australia in their final group stage match which means that they get the tough task of facing up to European champions Portugal now in the semi final stage. This would have been many punters’ picture of what the final itself was going to look like. Both of these are competitive and know how to grind things out and both of them have plenty to offer in attack so hopefully, this is the great show that it could very well be.

Portugal v Chile Betting Tips
Portugal won their Confederations Group, edging out Mexico on goal difference. So now the reigning European Champions get to take on Chile, which isn’t the easiest of games really for them. Portugal scored seven goals in their three group stage matches and so they have been scoring pretty well and look dangerous on the attack. Over 2.5 goals at bet365 for the game is a price of 6/5 and this could be quite a good attacking game if they go for it, but equally, on the other side of the coin, they both know how to dig in and scrape out results. Under 1.5 goals has appeal therefore at 2/1. Really since that ding-dong battle with Mexico in their opener Portugal haven’t been tested at the tournament.tn.
Portugal do have 10 clean sheets in their last fourteen games. Chile will work them though. Cristiano Ronaldo is a quote of 11/10 in the bet365 anytime goalscorer market and he has two goals to his name in the competition so far. Portugal have collected back to back clean sheets now on their way to the semifinals and Portugal to win to nil at bet365 is a quote of 11/4. Portugal and Chile have met before, as they were together in a 2011 friendly in Portugal, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. In the Bet365 correct score market for this one, the 1-1 draw is the shortest price option again at a price of 5/1. In the bet365 To Qualify market, Portugal are 8/11 with Chile at even money.
Chile came into the tournament as one of the stronger nations and now they need to show just a little bit more. They will be disappointed at not winning their group after opening with a win over Cameroon and a draw against Germany. They didn’t read their lines as they had to scrap back from a goal down to Australia in their final group stage match, having to settle for a 1-1 which handed to spot to Germany. If they would have beaten the Socceroos by a couple of goals then the Chileans would have been playing Mexico instead. So they need to sharpen up from that disappointment and with their defence having been breached in their last two games, both teams to score at bet365 in this one is a price of 10/11. Alexis Sanchez is a 7/4 anytime goalscorer option for Chile with Eduardo Vargas at 12/5.

Portugal v Chile Predictions
Portugal to win: Such an interesting game here and Portugal should just have enough to edge it. Chile turned in a really poor performance against Australia and while Portugal haven’t been tested since their opener against Mexico, they are carrying enough form to edge this. Worth a flutter on both teams to score.
