World Cup Picks and Best Bets Today

Canada vs Morocco Prediction: 3-0 Morocco

• Morocco Moneyline (-135)
• Morocco -1.5 Goals (+250)

Canada have enjoyed a kind route to the last 16, but Morocco represent a huge step up in class.

The Africans were excellent against Brazil and the Netherlands and comfortably handled Scotland and Haiti. They're simply the better side, making the price on offer for MOROCCO TO WIN look generous.

They've got the quality, experience and composure from recent deep tournament runs, while Canada looked vulnerable against South Africa and yet to really be tested at this tournament.

A smaller play on MOROCCO -1 HANDICAP also appeals. If Morocco get in front, Canada's high-pressing style could leave plenty of space to exploit.

Paraguay vs France Prediction: 3-0 France

• Andres Cubas To Be Booked (+260)
• Diego Gomez To Be Booked (+340)

Paraguay stunned Germany with a classic backs-to-the-wall display, but repeating that against this France side looks a far tougher task.

Les Bleus have scored multiple goals in 16 of their last 17 internationals and possess the attacking depth to keep the pressure on throughout, especially in the expected Philadelphia heat.

With Paraguay likely to spend long spells defending, the card angles stand out.

ANDRES CUBAS TO BE CARDED looks strong after 16 bookings in his last 38 club and international games, while DIEGO GOMEZ TO BE CARDED also appeals after seven cards in his last 15 competitive matches.

The card double at +925 may also be worth a small play too.
