Congo have managed to score at least once in ten of their previous twelve matches in their build-up to this tournament. Portugal are short-priced favourites to win. Portugal have conceded one or more goals in seven of their previous ten matches. Both teams to score is the prediction in this match.

Portugal are being touted as one of the favourites to win this World Cup. In their last fifteen games, nine have seen both teams scoring. Seven of those nine have seen Portugal emerge victorious. Congo have scored at least one goal in thirteen of their last fifteen internationals. This is the first time that Congo have made these finals since 1974 in West Germany and could struggle to hold out against such a strong team like Portugal. Selection is for Portugal to win, with Congo grabbing a consolation goal.

Congo have not lost a match by two or more goals in any of their last fifteen internationals. Portugal are unbeaten in their last five games, but underdogs have been doing well so far at this tournament. With that in mind, the selection is for Congo with a 1.75 goals start on the handicap.

Trained by the Gisdens, who have a great record in the longer-distance races at Royal Ascot. Lightly raced. Has had just two runs, starting with a half-length second in a Yarmouth Novices' race in April. The winner of that race reopposes, but he had the advantage of more racing experience. Won his latest race over 10 furlongs at Newbury. Now runs over an extra half-mile. Sired by Frankel and can improve over this longer trip.

Looks an outsider with a live each-way chance. Trained by Archie Watson and ridden by Tom Marquand. Has had three runs. Won on debut at Newcastle, pulled clear to win by 14 lengths over a mile. Then finished sixth in a Listed event at Newmarket over nine furlongs. Last time out got back into winning ways with a six-length success at Salisbury over ten furlongs. Clearly looks suited to longer distances. Sired by Sea The Stars out of a Motivator mare. That breeding has a strong record in staying events.

Forecast in this market is for both teams to score. Argentina are the defending champions, but have an ageing team. Algeria are an attack-focused team who scored 24 goals in ten qualifying games. Quarterfinalists in the AFCON. Unbeaten in their four warm-up matches. Although they have been scoring plenty of goals, Algeria have struggled to keep clean sheets. Just the one clean sheet in their World Cup qualifying.

Algeria could upset the odds by pushing Argentina hard and possibly even beating them. Argentina are an ageing team who could be shocked by the attacking strengths of Algeria. Algeria won eight and drew one of their last ten qualifying matches, scoring 24 goals in those fixtures. Go with Algeria on the handicap with a 1.25-goal start.

Iraq managed to score in the majority of their twenty-one qualifying games. Norway won all of their qualifiers but had a tendency to concede goals. With their wealth of quality strikers, I strongly fancy Norway to win, but today's opponents, Iraq, could grab a consolation goal.

Norway are one of the top teams result-wise over the last couple of years. They won all eight matches that got them to these finals. Only once in those eight victories was the winning margin less than two goals. In Håland, Larsen, and Sorloth they have three top strikers who are all in form. I think Norway can win by at least a two-goal margin.

Both of these teams play an attack-oriented style of football, with plenty of goals being scored. Five of France's last six matches have seen both sides score at least one goal. Senegal have scored in five of their last six fixtures in the build-up to these finals. Senegal have lost just one of their previous twelve matches. Take both teams to score.

There has already been a plethora of surprise results at this World Cup. Some of the favourites have been held. African nations have done well to date, and Senegal are the leading African team. They face the favourites to win this tournament, France. Both sides like to play an attacking style. I expect both teams to find the back of the net, so take the draw with both teams scoring.

Senegal are the leading African team and won the AFCON title earlier this year. They have lost just one of their last twelve matches. They have a potent attacking threat with Ndiaye, Mané and Camara all having been among the goals. France are the tournament favourites, but it could take them a while to hit their best form. Take Senegal on the handicap with a 1.25-goal start.

Trained by the Gisdens with Oisin Murphy in the saddle. A four-year-old Lope de Vega gelding. Two races this season, starting with a comfortable win in a Class Two handicap at Kempton. He led two out and eased down to win by three lengths. Form from that race has been franked.

Trained by Willie Mullins, who has an excellent record in this race. This six-year-old may be viewed by many as the stable's second string, but I feel he can run a big race today. Finished in the frame in the Cesarewich on his last run on the Flat, beaten just over three lengths. Had a prep race over hurdles at Punchestown when backed into favourite, only to finish sixth of ten. Each-way chance.

One of several runners in this race trained by JP O'Brien, but this one is the more fancied. Owned by JP McManus and ridden by Dylan Browne McMonagle. The jockey has one win from three rides on board this five-year-old. Seventh last time out on seasonal debut in the Chester Cup. He didn't seem suited to the tight track and will be better suited to today's track. Won the Irish Cesarewitch and, over hurdles, won the Fred Winter at Cheltenham.

Uruguay will be without two of their leading goal scorers of all time: Luis Suárez and Edinson Cavani. They also have Araujo and Arrascaeta missing with injuries. Uruguay drew three of their last six in the build-up to this tournament. Saudi Arabia were held to a draw in two of their warm-up games. Both sides have struggled in front of goal, and I don't see many goals in this game. A price of 4.33 for the Draw looks like decent value.

Belgium remain one of the leading teams in world football. They were surprisingly knocked out at the group stage in 2022. They will be aiming to go much further this time, possibly getting to the semi-finals, as they did in 201?. Egypt have yet to win a match at this stage. Played seven, lost five and drawn two. Belgium were undefeated in the qualifying stages and had a successful set of warm-up games. Egypt have won just two of their previous six fixtures. Belgium to win.
