Portugal vs Uzbekistan Group K: Footlab's data breakdown for 2026 World Cup
Portugal carry a Footlab Elo of 1710 and a FIFA ranking of #7 into the 2026 World Cup — placing them among the six strongest nations in the competition by our model. Uzbekistan (Elo 1518, FIFA #60) represent the widest quality gap in Group K. Bookmaker odds rarely price in the full extent of that gap, and that discrepancy is exactly what Footlab's EV model is built to detect.
Group K brings together Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan and DR Congo. Two teams clearly separate from the pack on every measurable metric. What follows breaks down each team's Elo profile, qualification odds and the markets where the modelled probability diverges most from the implied bookmaker probability.
