Ranking gap is the story

Portugal sit 8 places above Colombia in the FIFA ranking (#5 vs #13) — a gap of that size is hard for the underdog to close in a one-off match. Portugal comes out at 37%, Colombia at 28%, with the rest on the draw. Combined upset-or-draw chance keeps this one flagged as Upset Watch.
