Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup odds and betting angles for Wednesday’s fixture:

Portugal v D.R. Congo – Wednesday, 6pm

Acca Selections:

• Portugal -1 Handicap (5/6)
  Portugal should have enough in this opener win fairly comfortably.
• Both Teams To Score – No (4/6)
  Only four of D.R. Congo’s last ten games have seen both teams find the back of the net.
  
• Cristiano Ronaldo To Score Anytime (8/13)
  Ronaldo has scored in six of his last ten games for Portugal.
• Over 2.5 Goals (4/6)
  Portugal have seen nine of their last 13 games produced over 2.5 goals.
• Portugal To Win To Nil (19/20)
  As above, i’m expecting Portugal to win this one without conceding.

These picks can be combined into an acca, with an Acca Boost available on William Hill.
