03:00 Sweden v Tunisia
Sweden
50 WIN
@-105
Win
47
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.

Ismael Gharbi has featured in eight games for Tunisia this year and managed to pick up five yellows and a red from those games. Considering four of those games were friendlies, it's not an attractive return. I think he looks overpriced at 6.5.

Argentinian referee Yael Falcón Pérez is in charge of the game and is never shy to hold back with the cards. He averaged 5.8 cards per game last season. Although to be fair, the Argentinian league does have more than its fair share of bookings, he is nevertheless unlikely to hold back in this one.

Kyle Daukaus is on a six-fight winning run and has been in with some tough guys. He's a wily campaigner and will be tough to put away. Nickal is an impressive fighter, especially on the mat, and his striking is also coming along. He has the tools to impress the judges, but putting Daukaus away won't be easy.

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.

Goals could be scarce in this one, making a 0-0 or 1-1 a likely outcome. Ecuador kept 13 clean sheets in 13 of their 18 matches, and Ivory Coast didn't concede a single goal in 10 games. I think this will be a tight, low-scoring affair.

Moises Caicedo has been a card magnet for Chelsea. In his last four seasons he has picked up 10, 11, 11 and 11 yellows. In qualifying for Ecuador he also received five yellows and a red. In what should be a close, competitive game, I can see him attracting the ref's attention.

This looks a potentially tight, low-scoring affair that could go either way. There are a few players in the game who seem to attract cards, and with a few tasty tackles likely, with both desperate not to concede, I can see Michael Oliver dishing out at least 4.

It may be tree-lined, but the fairways are wide, meaning powerful driving is a plus. Michael Brennan is up there with the best for driving distance and enters this in good form. He was a solid sixth, two off the lead last time at the Charles Schwab, where he produced four solid rounds. I think he can go well at a good price.
Tommy Fleetwood

Fleetwood didn't play last year but was a fine 2nd in 2023. He comes in in decent form after a solid 4th last time at the Memorial Tournament where he finished two off the lead. His chances were wrecked by a 73 on Friday, which may well have cost him the win. He should go well on this course and looks a potential winner.
Wyndham Clark
50 WIN
@+1800

Wyndham Clark comes into this in great form after winning the CJ Cup two starts ago. He shot four impressive rounds of 66, 63, 65, and 60. He followed that up with a solid 3rd at the Memorial, one shot off the lead despite a poor Friday when he shot 75. If he had had a solid Friday he may well have had back-to-back wins. In this form he could easily win again.

Netherlands are around evens to win, but this looks far from straightforward. Japan were the first team to qualify for the World Cup, doing so with three games to spare. They've continued that fine form in recent friendlies. They've won six on the trot, including wins over Brazil and England. I can see this ending all square.

Netherlands romped through qualification, scoring 27 from their 8 games. They attack with purpose and should be confident of scoring today. We recently saw Japan against England, and although they didn't see much of the ball they still managed seven shots and scored the only goal of the game. With the Dutch conceding in all four warm-up games against Uzbekistan, Algeria, Ecuador, and Norway, I can see both teams scoring.

Doan does get forward a fair bit, but he could be busy defending in this one with Gakpo running down the left wing. Gakpo draws an awful lot of fouls, and Doan certainly isn't immune to picking up cards. He got one in the recent friendly with Scotland and picked up five for Frankfurt.

England clearly have the best players, with the two Lukes occupying the top two places in the rankings. It didn't do them any good last year when they were dumped out by Germany 9-4.

Minnows Curaçao look hopelessly out of their depth in this one. They came through qualification unbeaten, but that was against very weak sides. Recent 5??"1 defeats to Australia and 4??"1 to Scotland show their limitations. Germany have won nine on the trot, including a 6??"0 hiding of Slovakia. They aren't a side to sit back on their lead and look capable of banging in plenty of goals.

Scotland recently put 4 past Curaçao, which shows their limitations. Germany are adept at putting away lesser sides with ease and could really fill their boots today. That could mean a whole host of goal scorers. Felix Nmecha should start and play a more advanced role in midfield. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a shot or two, so 4.5 looks decent value.

Curaçao recently conceded 5 against Australia and 4 against Scotland and look well out of their depth against Germany, who regularly put poor sides to the sword. I see plenty of goals for Germany and Havertz should be among them. Havertz should lead the line tonight and should get plenty of chances against Curaçao. He's scored in his last two: against the USA in a friendly and against PSG in the Champions League final.

Curaçao are the smallest nation to ever qualify for the World Cup finals and look out of their depth. They did come through qualification unbeaten, but this is a huge step up in class for them. They may be able to beat weak sides, but recent 5??"1 defeat to Australia and 4??"1 to Scotland expose their weaknesses. Germany did have a bad patch when losing three on the trot but shook that off by winning their next nine, banging in the goals. I can see them shutting the minnows out, and five goals looks very doable.

Provence racked up the points in Division Two, averaging 37 per home game. It may not be as easy against Top 14 side Perpignan, but Perpignan aren't exactly known for their strong defence, conceding 471 points from 13 away games. Perpignan are expected to win this well, so I see tries all round and a total in the 50s.

Armagh won the Ulster title after an impressive win over Monaghan. They are a well-organised side with significant squad depth, and they rarely play a bad game. Louth were well beaten by Dublin in the Leinster final but responded superbly by getting their revenge a fortnight ago, which shows their fighting spirit. However, I don't see them beating an Armagh side that defends well and scores from all over the place.

At the last World Cup, Australia got out of their group thanks to 1-0 wins over Tunisia and Denmark. I expect a similar approach today, with them defending and willing to concede possession and hitting Turkey on the break. Turkey are the better side and solid at the back. They were hardly free-scoring in their two knockout games to get here, winning 1-0 against Romania and Kosovo. I see Turkey dominating possession but struggling to break Australia down.

Harry Souttar played in the last World Cup after recovering from a ligament injury just before the tournament. It's been a similar situation this time, with him suffering an Achilles injury ruling him out until late May. The main thing is he's made it, and he will do his utmost to make the most of the opportunity. He should be very busy against a Turkish side that push forward in numbers, so he will be a busy man and have to make several tackles he may not want to. He's barely played this season but last season picked up 5 yellows and a red in 21 games for Sheffield United.

Australia will most likely sit back and absorb the pressure and hit Turkey on the break. This won't generate many corners for Australia, but it should give them two or three. Turkey love to get shots away, which can generate plenty of corners. In their two warm-up games they won 12 and 13. Six or seven corners for them should take this over, and they look capable of doing that.

There has been money for Haiti, but for the life of me I can't see why. Admittedly Scotland have a poor record at the World Cup finals and have lost to sides like Costa Rica and, more notably, Peru in 1978. They seem a more reliable side these days and look on a different level to Haiti. Yes, Haiti did beat New Zealand 4-0 in a warm-up, but the Kiwis didn't play anywhere near as solidly as they did against England, so I'm not reading too much into that. The only half-decent side they beat was in qualifying,was Cosat Rica with the rest of the games being against sides ranked in the 100s. They look out of their depth.

He's scored 5 in his last 9 internationals, and the fact Brazil aren't looking too strong these days, I like his chances.

It's an unattractive price, but it's hard to see anything other than a Swiss win. Switzerland romped through their group unbeaten, conceding just two goals in the process. Qatar were hapless at the last World Cup on their own turf, losing all three games. It's hard to believe they will do better this time. They could only finish 4th of 6th in their qualification group, which contained two poor sides, but it was enough to get them to a second qualifying group where they controversially got to play all their games at home. That was enough to see them through. Their form looks well short of what is needed.

Latvia snuck past Italy 4-3 but lost last time by the same score to Trinidad and Tobago with a disappointing 79 average. France qualified with a stunning comeback from 3-0 down to Austria, producing an 86 average. Thibault Tricole and Nicolas Thuillier look the more reliable pair, so I expect them to prevail.

Poland are a solid team with Krzysztof Ratajski and Sebastian Bia?ecki, but I'm not sure about them being favourites against Ireland. Mansell and O'Connor are both experienced, capable players. They missed a whole host of doubles against Gibraltar (75% missed) but still averaged 91.73 in winning 4-2. I don't expect their doubling to be as bad over this distance. Poland are solid enough, but if Ireland are clinical today on the doubles, I think they win.

Sharks are under-strength and should be susceptible to the Warriors' attack. The Warriors have shown strong home form and should have too much power going forward for the Sharks.

USA love to attack, and in front of their fans will want to start with a bang. The problem is that they don't defend well, with 6 of their last 7 games going over 2.5 goals. Paraguay can be defensively minded, but I don't see them keeping the US out, so they will have to go forward. I see goals.

Balogun has played 13 times for the US since 2024, scoring 6 goals in the process. Last season for Monaco he netted 13 times from 30 games and should get chances today. Paraguay are a strong side at their own ground, but overall aren't looking strong. I see goals for the USA.

USA love to push forward and this often brings corners. An example of this was last time against Germany when they won 10. Paraguay are a tad erratic, as they often play defensively. But when on the front foot, they can win their fair share. As I expect the USA to score, Paraguay may be forced forward as well, taking the total over.

The teams met in a "friendly" in November, but it was anything but friendly, with six yellows and a red. If a friendly can produce that many, then surely 3.5 looks achievable. In Paraguay's recent friendly with Morocco there were nine bookings, with Paraguay accounting for six.

Argentina had a disappointing 3-1 loss to Serbia, but they were competitive and can build on that. They are a decent side on their day, as seen at last year's World Championships where they won all their group games before unluckily running into Italy, who went on to become World Champions. Iran look pretty limited, so this looks winnable for the Argentinians.
