17:01 World Cup 2026
Brazil
50 WIN
@+800
Void
0
Brazil are five-time champions of the world, and they are long overdue on the grandest stage of them all. The Samba Boys last lifted the World Cup in 2002, but with players like Thiago, Marquinhos, and Casemiro having excellent seasons, I fancy that under Carlo Ancelotti the Brazilians can reestablish themselves as the footballing superpower of the world this summer.
Portugal
25 EW
@+1100
Void
0
Portugal finished 4th in the 2006 World Cup and that team included the likes of Figo, Ronaldo and Deco. Four years ago they were beaten quarter-finalists, but on paper they look to have one of the best squads in the tournament. Portugal won the 2016 European Championship, and I fancy Vitinha and Bruno Fernandes to pull the strings in the middle. There is a big World Cup on the cards for the Portuguese, who include Cristiano Ronaldo.
Jamal Musiala
Top Goalscorer
25 EW
@+5000
Void
0
The Bayern Munich winger was the joint top scorer in the last European Championship with three goals. He heads to the World Cup fresher than most, given he only played 14 league games for Bayern because of injuries. Jamal Musiala will be one of the three-pronged attackers for Germany. He has a good record in a national shirt, scoring three in six Nations League games last year. I fancy he will play a big part in Germany going a long way in the 2026 World Cup. He can be one of the tournament's top goalscorers, with four places on offer.
12:00 World Cup 2026
Brazil
50 WIN
@+600
Void
0
Nobody has won more World Cup tournaments than Brazil, who have five. The last time the United States hosted the finals, it was the Brazilians who beat Italy in the final. Carlo Ancelotti is the coach leading the South Americans now, and with Vinicius Jr and Raphinha on the wings, I fancy Brazil will peak at this World Cup to reach an eighth final and win it for a sixth time.
Brazil
50 WIN
@+800

0
With Scotland and Haiti in their group, I fancy the Samba Boys will play their way into this tournament. Under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, I can see Brazil having a big World Cup. The 1994 and 2002 champions are long overdue. After reaching the quarterfinals in 2022, I am siding with Brazil to find form and become six-time winners.

12:00 World Cup 2026 Group B
Switzerland (Gp)
Group Betting
50 WIN
@-136
Void
0
Switzerland are solid at the back with experienced defenders. With the likes of Vargas, N'Doye, Embolo, and Okafor in attack, I am siding with the Swiss to come through as group winners. Group B looks like it could have plenty of draws, and with Bosnia, Canada, and Qatar joining Switzerland, I fancy five points could be enough to top the table.

05:00 Australia v Turkiye
Turkiye
50 WIN
@-124
Lose
-50
Turkey have won both previous international meetings with Australia, and I fancy they have the attacking quality to open this group with a win. Turkey came out of a group with Spain and have four wins from four this year, including play-off wins against Romania and Kosovo. I am siding with this being a win for the European side.
Turkiye #2-1
52 WIN
@+800
Lose
-52
Turkey have won both head-to-head meetings 1-0 and 3-1 against Australia, and I fancy this will be an entertaining Group D clash in Vancouver. Turkey have won their last four internationals, and after beating Venezuela 2-1 last week, I am siding with the Turks winning by the odd goal in three.
02:00 Haiti v Scotland
Scotland
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
The Scots scored four against Curaçao and Bolivia in warm-up friendlies, and they qualified from a group that had Greece and Denmark. With Brazil and Morocco to come, I fancy this is a must-win for the Tartan Army. They will get the result by beating Haiti in this group opener.
John McGinn
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+800
Win
400
Ten goals for Aston Villa in his best season yet, and I fancy John McGinn is set for a big World Cup. The midfielder likes to drive forward, and he has a left foot with which he can strike from distance. I am siding with McGinn to give Scotland the lead.
Scotland #1-0
50 WIN
@+600
Win
300
Haiti have beaten New Zealand and Costa Rica in their last six games, and I fancy they will give Scotland a game. Iceland and Tunisia only scored one against this Haiti side. I am siding with just the one goal in a Scotland win by a goal to nil.
Danley Jean Jacques
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@+225
Lose
-50
Six bookings in seventeen domestic games for Philadelphia Union, and I fancy the midfielder will be a busy man in the middle of the park against the Scots. Five bookings in fifteen for Haiti, and I am siding with Danley Jean-Jacques getting cautioned tonight.

23:00 Brazil v Morocco
Brazil
50 WIN
@-153
Lose
-50
Marquinhos, Casemiro, Raphinha and Thiago have all had excellent seasons at club level. I fancy this Brazilian side with Vinícius and some midfield steel will have a good World Cup. Brazil beat Morocco in the 1998 World Cup, and I am siding with the Samba Boys to get off the mark with a win.
Vinicius Jr.
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+500
Lose
-50
Twenty-two goals for Real Madrid in the season just gone, and I fancy Vinícius Júnior will have a big World Cup for the Brazilians. Three goals in the last fifteen for the Samba Boys, and I am siding with Vini to give Brazil the lead against Morocco.
Brazil #2-1
52 WIN
@+800
Lose
-52
Eight wins in ten for Morocco, and they are unbeaten in twenty-nine games. They beat Brazil 2-1 in a friendly in 2023, but it was the Samba Boys who won the only tournament meeting 1-0 in the 1998 World Cup. Brazil under Carlo Ancelotti will hit differently, and after beating Egypt 2-1, I fancy the South Americans to win this by the odd goal in three against Morocco.

Casemiro
Player to be Booked
91 WIN
@+125
Win
114
The Brazilian will likely have to put out fires tonight against Morocco, and he has four yellow cards in the last eleven for his country. Hakimi getting forward, and with Díaz and Saibari roaming, I am siding with Casemiro finding his way into the referee's notebook against the Africans.
Chadi Riad
Player to be Booked
50 WIN
@+275
Lose
-50
The Crystal Palace defender was booked against Madagascar in a warm-up game, and I fancy that with Vinícius and Raphinha cutting into the box he will have to make plenty of challenges. Chadi Riad will be put under pressure by the Brazilians, and I am siding with him getting carded.
20:00 Qatar v Switzerland
Switzerland
50 WIN
@-344
Lose
-50
The Swiss topped a group with Sweden and Slovenia to qualify for these finals, and they are always a tough team to beat. Qatar lost all three games in the last World Cup, and with the mix of experience and quality that Switzerland have, I fancy they will be far too good for Qatar and will open with a win in Group B.

Breel Embolo
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+332
Win
166
The Rennes striker will be a popular first goalscorer selection tonight for the Swiss. He has a strong record for his country in front of goal. The forward scored against Jordan in the warm-up game to make it nine goals in thirteen. I am siding with Embolo for first goal.
Switzerland #2-0
52 WIN
@+450

-52
Four defeats and two draws in the last six for Qatar, and they didn’t score in either friendly against Ireland and El Salvador leading up to these finals. Switzerland have steel in the middle and quality going forward. I fancy they win this by a couple of goals to nil tonight.

When they met a month ago in the league it was a 35??"12 win for Exeter, and the meeting before in February was 31??"19.

There were goals in both friendlies ahead of this World Cup for the United States, with a 3-2 win over Senegal followed by a 2-1 defeat to Germany. I fancy this is going to have both teams to score.

Bosnia & Herzegovina beat Wales and Italy in World Cup qualifiers to reach these finals, and I fancy they won't be easy to beat in Group B. They were second in their qualifying group between Romania and Austria, and I am siding with this opener being a tight affair where they cancel each other out. A point each is the play.

The Czech Republic beat Ireland and Denmark in World Cup playoffs to reach the finals, and I fancy that with Mexico and South Korea this will be a tight group.
