Portugal need clean chances before Croatia turns the match into a clock-drain.
The locked model puts Portugal at 60.2% para avanzar. DraftKings-style benchmarks sit closer to the high-60s, so the market agrees on direction but is more comfortable than the model. The danger corridor is familiar: Croatia survive the first hour, compress tempo, and drag the tie toward extra time.
Portugal 60% · Croacia 40%
Portugal have the edge, but this is not a wipeout profile; the market and the model both leave Croatia live if the match slows into a possession-without-separation script.

DraftKings opening benchmark had Portugal -240 para avanzar and Croatia +185, with Portugal -125 / empate +265 / Croatia +370 in 90 minutes. Later references put Portugal near -223 to -235 para avanzar. The market and model agree Portugal lead, but the empate/under/late-game corridor stays live.
Los mercados son contexto; no entran al call bloqueado del modelo.60% Who advances
Portugal are the locked model side, with the market directionally aligned but a bit stronger.
90+ET+pens47% 90-minute Portugal win
Regulation is the separation test. If Portugal do not break through early enough, Croatia can turn this into a 120-minute match.

This is central, not exotic: the model empate band is 28.1%.
reg9073% Croatia +1.5 / narrow-game script
The match can be Portugal-leaning and still be uncomfortable. Croatia keeping it close is the clean hedge against market over-comfort.
