STEVEOCN's Tips History

19 July 2026
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

Void

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.
24 June 2026
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.
14 June 2026
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.
13 June 2026
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

Lose

-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.

Player to be Booked

50 WIN

@+332

Win

166

Booked in the last three league games for Al Rayyan before the World Cup, and I fancy that against the attacking Swiss wingers Jassem Gaber will rack up the fouls. I am siding with the Qatar defender to break up the play and end up in the book.

Player to be Booked

50 WIN

@+240

Seven bookings in eighteen league games for Al Sadd, and I fancy the centre back is going to have his hands full up against Embolo tonight. Four yellow cards in seventeen for his country, and I am siding with Pedro Miguel picking up a booking.

First Legion

Daily Racing

25 EW

Win

Fifth at York last month and fourth last time out at Leicester. This handicap looks like a race where First Legion can get involved. Won over course and distance last May, and I fancy Shane Foley can deliver for Richard Hannon.

To Win

Exeter Chiefs 8.50

Handicap

60 WIN

@-111

Win

Handicap

83

The last five head-to-head meetings between Bath and Exeter Chiefs have all been closely contested. 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. I fancy 47??"50 to be the spread this afternoon, and I am siding with Under 56 Total Points.

Republic of Ireland

Win Match 2-way

52 WIN

@+900

Lose

-52

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.

Draw

50 WIN

@+270

Win

135

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.

Jonathan David

First Goalscorer

Player to be Booked

50 WIN

03:00 South Korea v Czechia

Draw

50 WIN

@+225

Lose

-50

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. South Korea are a solid team, much like Czechia, and on paper this one looks hard to call. I am siding with both sides settling for a point apiece at the Akron in Zapopan.

Patrik Schick

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@+500

Lose

The Leverkusen striker scored first against Guatemala in the Czechs' final warm-up friendly, and he has six goals in the past five games for club and country.

Tomas Soucek

Player to be Booked

50 WIN

@+375

Lose

-50

South Korea are a hard-working outfit, and I fancy Tomáš Sou?ek will be a busy man in the middle of the park. Two bookings in three games at the Euros two years ago show the midfielder knows how to break things up. I am siding with a Sou?ek yellow card.
