💯 Fiji v Portugal Betting Odds Rugby World Cup
There are three rugby betting markets that I enjoy making use of when placing bets on this entertaining sport, and below I have provided you with the betting odds that five quality bookies are offering for these markets. If you want to find out more about any of the following bookmakers, then feel free to visit our bookmaker reviews page.
🥇 Fiji v Portugal Match Winner Odds
Most pool matches at this Rugby World Cup have been very one-sided, and the odds that the bookmakers are offering, which can be seen in the table below, for this game would suggest that they are expecting the Pool Stage to end with another easy win for one team. Portugal have shown that they are a very capable rugby team, so I feel the odds are somewhat unfair.
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiji | 1.03 | 1.03 | 1.04 | 1.02 | 1.04 |
| Tie | 27.50 | 27.50 | 34.00 | 41.00 | 34.00 |
| Portugal | 9.15 | 9.15 | 10.00 | 7.00 | 12.00 |
➕ Fiji v Portugal Handicap 3-Way Odds
Maybe you agree with the sports betting sites here and believe that Fiji will win the match with plenty of points to spare. As the match winner odds for Tonga are not really worth looking at due to how short they are, you might want to opt for some 3-way handicap betting as this gives you the possibility to give them a points disadvantage to increase their odds. The 3-way handicap betting odds can be found below:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiji (0-21) | 1.87 | 1.87 | 1.91 | - | - |
| Fiji (0-25) | - | - | - | - | 1.90 |
| Draw (0-21) | 18.20 | 18.20 | 17.00 | - | - |
| Draw (0-25) | - | - | - | - | 23.00 |
| Portugal (0-21) | 1.82 | 1.82 | 1.90 | - | - |
| Portugal (0-25) | - | - | - | - | 1.62 |
🏮 Fiji v Portugal Asian Handicap Odds
If, for instance, you decide to give Tonga a -21-point handicap, and they win the match by 21 points, then the match will be marked as a draw, and you will lose your wager. You can remove the draw from the equation courtesy of Asian handicap betting, and the odds can be found in the following table:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiji (-20.5) | 1.80 | 1.80 | - | 1.75 | 1.90 |
| Portugal (+20.5) | 1.82 | 1.82 | - | 1.76 | 1.90 |
All of the odds above were correct when the prediction was written. For any updated odds, head over to the respective bookmakers' sites.
🔍 Fiji v Portugal Winner Prediction
The top sports betting sites are not giving Portugal much chance in this match, but they have played much better than many thought they would in their previous three group matches. They drew with Georgia and then gave Wales and Australia a decent game - with a bit more luck, they could have got a losing bonus point against the Aussies.
The Portuguese have no chance of making it out of the group, but they will be eager to pick up a big scalp and head home with a Rugby World Cup win under their belts. Fiji, who just need one point to make it through to the last eight, will not have it all their own way in this match, which is good news for anyone of an Australian persuasion - not that they deserve to make it through.
Although I think Fiji will find it tough at times against Portugal, I am backing them to get the win that they need to set up a potential clash with England. I think they will come out on top by around 15-18 points.
✔️ Fiji v Portugal RWC Betting Tips
Let me now use this online betting guide of mine to give you some useful RWC betting tips for this Fiji vs Portugal match. However, the first tip that I need to give you is to always remember to gamble responsibly. You should set yourself a budget and never stray from it.
1️⃣ Match Winner: Fiji to Win
My advice for the match winner market for this game is to leave it well alone and move on to something else. The odds that are available for a Fiji win are just not worth anyone's time and thoughts. However, if for some strange reason, you do want to use the extremely short odds, then William Hill are offering odds of 1.04 for a Fijian win.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Portugal to Win (+25)
As I feel that this will not be as big a walkover as the bookmakers are suggesting, I believe that there is some value to be had with 3-way handicap betting. For instance, you might want to consider betting on Portugal to win with a +25 handicap.
If this sounds feasible to you, then Spreadex Sports are offering odds of 1.62 for Portugal to win with a 25-point advantage.
3️⃣ Winning Margin
I enjoy trying to guess the winning margin of a game for a number of reasons. The first reason is that it is a market that offers plenty of value, while the second reason is that the odds on offer can be pretty enticing. As I feel that Fiji will win by 15-18 points, I like the odds of 5.50 that Spreadex are currently offering for
Fiji to be victorious by 16-20 points.
