Cristiano Ronaldo World Cup 2026 stats and odds: Scoring odds widen ahead of round of 16 clash

After watching Lionel Messi score seven goals for Argentina across his opening four World Cup matches, Cristiano Ronaldo will be quietly disappointed with the fact he as only managed to find the net three times so far.

His first-half double against Uzbekistan was supposed to indicate that the 41-year-old was ‘back', but his performances against Colombia and Croatia were poor, despite the spot kick he netted against the Croatians.

Is Ronaldo still in the race for the World Cup Golden Boot, or should Roberto Martinez be thinking about dropping him for the round of 16?

Ronaldo's stats this summer are pretty damning. The bulk of his xG came against Uzbekistan, and Portugal are not going to be playing anyone at that level from here on out. The fact that he has only attempted zero keys passes across 340 minutes of football this summer tells us how disconnected from the rest of the team he is.

We've picked out some of the most notable odds for Ronaldo ahead of Portugal's next World Cup match against Spain.

• To score anytime: 5/6
• To score first: 3/1

I don't like that Ronaldo is odds-on to score anytime against Spain, as he hasn't looked close to scoring in half of the matches he has played in so far this summer. If you're going to take any bet here, go with 3/1 on Ronaldo to score two or more goals, as on three of the last five occasions he has scored for Portugal, he has gone on to get another in the same match.
