⚽ Best Cristiano Ronaldo Props & Odds: Expert Prop Picks for Tuesday, June 23
I'm dissecting all the best Cristiano Ronaldo props and odds for Portugal's match against Uzbekistan. Matchday 1 was a game to forget for Ronaldo and Portugal, as CR7 didn't register a single shot on target and his team drew 1-1 with Congo. But I believe that Ronaldo is set for a great bounce-back game against the worst team in Group K.
My best World Cup predictions below focus on Ronaldo being more aggressive in this match, as Portugal pours it on against Uzbekistan.

‼️ THE MOST IMPORTANT NOTE ON THIS GAME
After drawing against Congo, Portugal will want to score plenty in this match so the game against Colombia doesn't decide its World Cup fate. Uzbekistan has struggled defensively in recent competitive matches, so Ronaldo and Portugal should be in total control from start to finish. Ronaldo's success is likely dependent on how aggressive Portugal remains.
π° Best Cristiano Ronaldo prop prediction
Cristiano Ronaldo to score the first goal (+235) vs. Uzbekistan
After tying Congo, I expect Portugal to come out aggressive against Uzbekistan. This is great news for Ronaldo. Though he only touched the ball 25 times in his first match, he still attempted three shots, the most of any Portugal player, and he finished with 0.46 expected goals.
Since I don't expect Uzbekistan to score in this match, it comes down to who is most likely to start the scoring for Portugal. And while Ronaldo doesn't have a single goal in three appearances with Portugal this year, he had eight goals in nine competitive matches in 2025.
💵 SBR Edge: Ronaldo is better than Matchday 1
This may seem so obvious, but it's worth stating, as some fans get their first look at Ronaldo for the first time in four years. Despite his lackluster effort against Congo, he's still scored in six of his last 10 competitive matches with Portugal, finding the back of the net twice in two of those games.

Cristiano Ronaldo to score 2 or more goals (+285) vs. Uzbekistan
Ronaldo isn't stopping at one goal in this match. Uzbekistan allowed three goals to Colombia and has now allowed at least two goals in three of its last seven competitive matches. Iran and Qatar were the other two teams to score multiple goals.
Portugal will dominate possession, pushing the ball to Ronaldo as often as possible in the final third. And while I think Ronaldo can score twice from the field, I wouldn't be surprised if Portugal's persistence eventually wears down the Uzbekistan defense, leading to a penalty shot. After all, Uzbekistan had 14 fouls against Colombia, while Portugal drew 10 against Congo.

Cristiano Ronaldo to have 5 or more shots (-130)
For as ugly as Ronaldo's first performance was, he still attempted three shots. Five may seem like a big jump from there, but Ronaldo had at least five shots in four of his five World Cup qualifying matches in 2025. He reached seven shots in three of those five contests, and never attempted fewer than four shots in a match.
Plus, Uzbekistan concedes a lot of opportunities. Colombia attempted 15 shots against them, so I expect Ronaldo to have more chances than he did when Portugal attempted just nine shots against Congo.
