Croatia vs Ghana Prediction June 27 Game Result Pick
Ghana is a strong bet to cover the 0.5-goal spread as underdogs against Croatia on Saturday. This is because situational trends perfectly favor the Black Stars' tactical setup.
Holding 4 points to Croatia’s 3 in Group L, the pressure rests entirely on a desperate Croatian squad to secure a victory. Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz can exploit this by absorbing pressure and deploying Inaki Williams and Antoine Semenyo on lethal counterattacks against Zlatko Dalić’s exposed three-man backline.
Needing only a draw to advance, Ghana’s motivation aligns flawlessly with an ATS win, capitalizing on a game script where Croatia inevitably overcommits.
Pick: Ghana +0.5 (-105)

Colombia vs Portugal Prediction June 27 Game Result Pick
Colombia is in a premium spot to cover the 0.5 spread as underdogs against Portugal on Saturday night. Playing in Miami, Colombia will have a bit of home field advantage. Additionally, some relevant trends perfectly favor Néstor Lorenzo’s Colombian squad.
Sitting on 6 points after dispatching Uzbekistan and DR Congo, Colombia faces minimal pressure in Miami. This game script allows them to absorb Portugal’s possession-heavy attacks and deploy Luis Díaz on lethal counter-strikes behind Roberto Martínez’s advancing fullbacks.
Because a draw cashes the ATS ticket, Colombia’s doesn't even need to win to cover the spread. As Portugal sends players forward to force a result, James Rodríguez will exploit the resulting gaps, making the Colombians the right side.
Pick: Colombia +0.5 (-130)
DR Congo vs. Uzbekistan — Time & How to Watch
| Where | MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM, ATLANTA, GA, USA |

DR Congo vs. Uzbekistan Odds
| Spread | Moneyline | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| DR CONGO | -0.5 (-165) | -155 | O 2.5 (+105) |
| UZBEKISTAN | +0.5 (+130) | +425 | U 2.5 (-130) |
| DRAW | – | +310 | – |
DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Prediction June 27 Game Result Pick
DR Congo is perfectly positioned to cover the 0.5-goal spread as a favorite against Uzbekistan, as they need an outright win to secure 4 points and advance.
DR Congo coach Sébastien Desabre’s organized squad—which has conceded just 2 goals— should thrive against an overmatched Uzbekistan team that has already surrendered 8 goals. As a desperate Uzbek side inevitably pushes forward to avoid losing all 3 games, their defense will likely be full of holes.
The game's flow should perfectly allow striker Yoane Wissa to find some space. Backed by Chancel Mbemba’s elite defensive shape, DR Congo’s tactical advantage makes them a good bet to get the win they so desperately need on Saturday.
Pick: DR Congo -0.5 (-165)
