Cristiano Ronaldo enters the FIFA World Cup 2026 as Portugal’s all-time leading scorer with 134 goals in 193 appearances, including seven in seven matches this year. For his country, he’s been a sports betting outlier, scoring at a staggering 0.76 goals per 90 minutes. A number like that is not something normally seen in top-flight soccer. 

He’s far from the only big name for Portugal, who headline Group K and begin their tournament with the fourth-best odds to win the whole thing. But Ronaldo is still the star of the show whenever he’s on the pitch.

But he’s now 41 and playing in his sixth and final World Cup. As his Instagram often highlights, he’s in great shape but, still, he’s 41 damn years old. That’s 23 years older than Lamine Yamal. When Yamal was born, Ronaldo was winning the Premier League title with United. It’s crazy stuff.

Anyway, if Ronaldo is going to score, today’s match against DR Congo (a +1000 underdog) is when you want it to happen because there are a couple of ways you could cash in.

Portugal 1×2 + Ronaldo anytime scorer

That bet should come with odds of -113, but with today’s Golden Boost, you can bet it at odds of +110. 

Portugal 1×2 + over 8.5 corners + Ronaldo anytime scorer

If you want to go deeper, try this SGP. What was once +190 has been boosted to +210.

If there’s any extra motivation needed, you know Ronaldo will be looking to keep pace with his fellow old, Lionel Messi. He scored a hat trick Tuesday in a 3-0 win over Algeria to open Argentina’s title defence.
