Portugal vs Ghana betting tips and predictions for the World Cup match with free football betting tips today.

Miracles do happen in football, just ask any Costa Rican. That said, the miracle needed by Portugal on Thursday evening may just be stretching the capabilities of whatever higher power Cristiano Ronaldo and Co believe in.

Despite their late, late, salvaging of a point against USA on Sunday night, Portugal require a six goal swing when they take on Ghana in Brasilia whilst the USA play Germany in Recife.

From a Portuguese point of view, the 4-0 demolition by Germany in the opening game looks to have caused irreparable damage to their World Cup ambitions. Normally you cannot blame one factor for a team’s failure, however it would be a surprise if Pepe is not feeling slightly guiltier than his team mates. It is conceivable that Portugal would not have conceded as many goals against Germany had the Real Madrid man not been sent off in the first half for a stupid head butt on Thomas Muller.
Even with Pepe, this Portugal team is a shadow of the sides that have graced the competition in the past and they have so obviously relied on Ronaldo to drag them through the group, despite their talisman’s own injury concerns. That said, where Ronaldo is concerned anything is possible and it would not be too much of a shock if the World Player of the Year bagged the goals to save his country, just as he did against Sweden in the play offs. On that occasion Ronaldo grabbed a hat trick and he is 12/1 to do the same on Thursday and salvage some personal pride from the tournament. Ronaldo to score first and Portugal to win is also appealing at 5/1 (bet 365) for our first Portugal vs Ghana betting tips.

Of course none of that takes into account a talented Ghana side that demonstrated their attacking capabilities in the 2-2 draw with Germany last Saturday. The Ghanaians led that game at one point and in Ashamoah Gyan, Andre Ayew and Kevin Prince-Boateng they have a front line that can hurt the defensively vulnerable Portuguese. Also, it should not be forgotten that Ghana have a better chance of Qualifying for the knockout phase if they can get a victory and odds of 2/1 for this outcome may be generous. The same could be said for Gyan to open the scoring at 6/1.

Finally, the above evidence suggests a match that should guarantee goals and although both teams to score is slightly short odds at 8/15, a solid bet could be both to score and a victory from either side at 11/4 (Portugal) and 15/4 (Ghana). For our Portugal v Ghana prediction we are sticking with Portugal and backing them to win with both teams scoring.
