03:00 Uzbekistan v Colombia
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@+137
Win
69
Uzbekistan aren't expected to score, but on the evidence of the tournament so far I wouldn't bet on that. We've already seen outsiders Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Curaçao and Qatar score, so why not Uzbekistan? They scored last time in a friendly with the Netherlands, so I think they can breach the Colombian defence.
00:00 Ghana v Panama
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@+110
Lose
-50
When playing non-African sides, Ghana's defensive shortcomings have been exposed, with no clean sheets in their six warm-up games. They also have key defenders out for this. Panama are an improving side that like to attack. I think they can score, but defending isn't their strength, so I think both teams will score.
Panama (AH) 0.25

Panama breezed through qualification, not losing any of their 10 games. They may be the outsiders in the group, but they are ranked 34th in the world, one place above Sweden and 39 places above Ghana. I think they will get something out of this.
Cecilio Waterman
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN

Although not a guaranteed starter, Waterman looks Panama's most likely route to goal. He may not have elite skills, but he is a big physical presence who gets in the right places and has an eye for goal. Against a Ghana side that has been struggling for clean sheets and has key defenders out, I like his chances.

It will be disappointing if England don't score with their attacking talent. It's just a case of whether Croatia can as well. They do have some aging players, but they are still capable of scoring, with them banging in 26 from 8 games. They can score against better sides, as recent friendly goals against Brazil showed. England conceded against Japan and Uruguay in warm-ups, so I think both will score.

England didn't win many corners under Southgate, but it's a different story under Tuchel. They racked up the corners in qualifying, and in their four warm-up games won 11, 8, 11, and 7. Croatia should be competitive, so they should add to the tally, taking it over.

Portugal are expected to win this well, but there looks every chance that they will concede. They've conceded in 5 of their last 7 to teams such as Armenia, Hungary, Chile, and Nigeria. In qualifying they conceded 7 times from 6 games. With Wissa leading the line, DR Congo have every chance of adding to the tally.

Portugal can be big corner winners, and in their last 5 competitive games they won 7, 9, 6, 9, and 6. If DR Congo can win a few the line looks achievable. In their last 3 games DR Congo won 7, 4, and 5 corners, so I can see this going over.

Honour Face rarely runs a bad race. In its last 10 starts, it was only outside the top two on one occasion. Last time it had a poor start, being sixth at the first bend, but ran on strongly to lose by a short head. With a better start today, it can win.

Tom Ford's form hasn't been great this year, but he has looked much better in China. He won both his matches, beating Lyu and Highfield, knocking in an 80, a 90 and three centuries in the process. If he brings that level of potting against Craigie, he should prevail.
05:00 Austria v Jordan

Both Teams to Score

Jordan are big outsiders, but the Asian sides have done better than expected so far. Jordan failed to score last time against Colombia but definitely threatened with two big chances. Prior to that they scored in nine consecutive games, including goals against Switzerland, Nigeria, and Morocco. I think they have enough about them to score as well.

Michael Gregoritsch loves to get forward and get shots away. This saw him score 6 times from 17 games even though he rarely played 90 minutes. He's scored 5 goals from 11 starts for Austria this year and should fancy his chances against a probably not very strong Jordan side.

Jordan averaged 2.2 yellows per game in World Cup qualifying, and that may well increase against a strong Austria side. Austria play a physical football style with high-pressing tactics, so they look sure to get a card or two. So 3 cards plus looks doable.

Argentina can lose their cool sometimes, as shown at the business end of qualifying when they picked up 5 against Brazil, 3 against Colombia, and 4 against Ecuador. If things don't go as well as expected today, it wouldn't surprise me to see them pick up some. Algeria picked up 5 yellows in their last competitive game against Nigeria, so the over looks the bet.

Rocker takes the mound for the Rangers. He has been a tad erratic, but he has had three shutouts this season over a total of 18.2 innings. I think he can keep a Twins side that don't hit nearly as well on the road quiet. Mathews for the Twins struggles on the road with a 9.5 ERA and 17 earned runs from 16.1 innings. Rangers have a clear pitching edge.

The smaller sides have done well so far, and Iraq have to be respected after drawing with Spain in a friendly. However, Norway are a free-scoring side that scored 38 in qualifying, and once they score the floodgates could open. I can see them distancing Iraq by at least a couple.

As much as the smaller teams have to be respected, I can see goals for Norway. They banged in 37 goals from 8 games in qualifying, including 7 against Italy. Haaland is Norway's most likely scorer, but the odds of 1.4 are very restrictive. Sorloth looks a good alternative, with him scoring 13, 20, and 23 league goals in his last three club seasons. He scored 5 goals in qualifying and should get chances today.

This bet relies heavily on Norway, as Iraq have won 3 or fewer in 7 of their last 8 games. However, if they go behind they may have to be more adventurous, so that three ceiling might not be too rigid. Norway, though, are a good corners-winning side. They won 11 last time against a quality Morocco side and have reached double figures multiple times.

Senegal caused quite a shock in the 2022 World Cup when beating France 1-0. As they are a stronger side these days, I expect them to perform well again. They went unbeaten in qualifying, winning 7 of their 10 games and conceding just three times. They are a strong, well-organised side defensively, and France won't find this straightforward.

Senegal are pretty solid yellow-card receivers. At the Africa Cup of Nations they picked up 18 cards, and in their last friendly with Saudi Arabia got three yellows and a red. They look sure to be under pressure from France, so look capable of getting some today. France aren't particularly big yellow-card winners, but if things aren't going their way they could easily pick up a couple.

Woollaston can't be said to be in good form, losing his last four games coming into this. The worrying thing is that he was favourite to win all those matches. Zhou Hanyang impressively beat Carrington yesterday, knocking in breaks of 52, 74, 85, and 95. I think he at least keeps this close.

Mitchell Mann impressed at Q School and then beat both Graham and Grace at the China Open before going down to Zhou 6-3. Even then he was competitive, tied at 3-3 before Zhou pulled away.

Varnamo are second-bottom, with the 24 goals conceded from 11 games a big part of the reason. They have few problems finding the net, though, with 14 goals so far. Helsingborg's away games are full of goals, with an average of 4.5. Both teams have scored in all 4 away games, so yes, looks the option.

New Zealand are clearly a poor side, but against England they looked well organized defensively and difficult to break down. Iran are the stronger side, but Sardar Azmoun, who scored eight times in qualifying, isn't participating for political reasons, so they look a bit lightweight in attack. Iran are strong defensively, so I don't see many goals.

Twins don't travel well, with just 13 wins from 34 games. I don't like the pitching matchup for them either. They don't name a starter, meaning a bullpen game for them, which is bad news as they have the worst bullpen in the MLB with an ERA of 5.40. Rangers have Gore on the mound, who has a 2.09 ERA at home.

Reds pitcher Chase Burns has been mighty impressive: a 2.14 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and a 7-1 record. He has 88 strikeouts this season, so scoring runs against him won't be easy. Myers is on the mound for the Mets, and he is basically a bullpen pitcher, so he won't go more than a couple of innings. This looks a tough ask for the Mets.

Phillies appear to have a clear edge in the pitching matchup. Zack Wheeler for the Phillies has a 5-1 record and a 2.22 ERA. He also goes six or seven innings, so the bullpen won't have a lot to do. Marlins have Gausman on the mound, who never sticks around long and has a 13.5 road ERA.

Bielsa can be a tad one-dimensional and doesn't often have a plan B. His teams press heavily and run all day. That has two drawbacks: one, the heat; and two, a good passing team can run them ragged. Saudi Arabia are a surprisingly decent passing side that have the ability to pass through Uruguay. They won their opening game last time when causing a major upset by beating Argentina. I think they could surprise.

We've seen enough of Bentancur at Spurs to know he can be a bit of a hothead and often attracts the refs' attention. In his time with Spurs he picked up 36 yellows, an average of one every three games. Uruguay may find Saudi Arabia a lot tougher to beat than expected. They knock the ball around well, so I can see Bentancur getting frustrated and picking up a card.

Belgium flopped at the last World Cup and in qualification, but they came through qualification unbeaten and do have some quality about them. Egypt are a strong African side, but I prefer Belgium. Playing African sides should hold no fears for them, as they thrashed Tunisia 5-0 in a warm-up. Admittedly Egypt are strong, but it's been a while since they played a European side and they've never won a game at a World Cup finals. Belgium look the stronger outfit and should do enough to win.

Belgium are a free-scoring side, but they don't look the strongest defensively when not at home. In their four away qualification games they only kept a clean sheet against a poor Liechtenstein side.

Egypt defend well, but Belgium get into the box an awful lot, which should put them under a lot of pressure. This can easily result in a penalty from a foul or handball. Wales fell foul to this twice in qualification, with Belgium winning two penalties and De Bruyne scoring them both. Penalties isn't his only route to goal, as we've all seen how impressive he can be. I think he has a decent chance of finding the net.

Mohamed Hany should start at right back for Egypt and could be in for a busy afternoon. With Doku and Castagne likely to be charging down the wing, he looks sure to be under pressure. A similar situation arose last time against Brazil when a poor first-half tackle saw him pick up a yellow.

African sides don't traditionally win a large amount of corners, but Egypt are one of the stronger sides. I suspect they will have to push forward at some stage against a dangerous Belgium side, especially if going behind, so I can see them winning around 4. Belgium can be big corner winners, as their 12 in the last game against Tunisia showed. I think this could be an entertaining match.

Cape Verde topped their group in qualifying and had an impressive 3-0 win over Serbia in a warm-up. However, that may flatter them, with a recent draw against Iran and a 4-2 loss to Chile giving a more realistic indication of their strength. Spain is a major step up from the sides they've been playing. Spain are capable of brushing aside stronger sides than Cape Verde, so I can see them winning by 3 or 4.

Kevin Lenini was on the bench for the last game against Bermuda but should start today. He largely plays a holding midfield role and will be expected to break up the Spanish moves.

He is therefore no stranger to cards and will do well to avoid one.

Spain can chalk up large volumes of corners, with them winning at least five in their last 11 games. Numerous times this year and last they reached a double-figure tally by themselves. In a game they are expected to dominate, I can see them getting very close to this line by themselves. Cape Verde surely can't keep Spain out, so at some time they will have to come out and attack. Their nine against Bermuda shows that they should add something to the tally.

Sweden were awful in World Cup qualifying, not winning a single game and picking up just 2 points. However, because of their Nations League performance they got to play in the playoffs. Graham Potter took over and things picked up, with them qualifying by beating Poland and Ukraine, scoring three in each. They look like a team with newfound confidence and can beat a Tunisia side that looks a bit limited when coming up against European opposition.

Tunisia didn't concede a goal in qualifying, so they may be tough to break down. The most likely Sweden player to do so would be Gyökeres. He is likely going to start alongside Isak but was more impressive last season. He scored 14 Premier League goals for Arsenal, as well as 5 Champions League goals. He scored 5 goals over his last three starts for Sweden, so I like his chances.

It looks a step up for Garcia on paper, but he's beaten some solid fighters and looks a lively outsider in this one. I have little doubt he will win the exchanges on the feet. He takes surprisingly little damage and throws an abundance of quality punches and kicks. Even if not finishing his opponent, he should impress the judges. Lopes has to take this to the mat to win, in my opinion, but that won't be easy with Garcia's defence.
