World Cup Picks and Best Bets Today

Croatia vs Ghana Prediction: 0-0 Draw

• Draw (+220)

This is where the permutations get interesting. Croatia likely only need a point to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams, while unbeaten Ghana would almost certainly progress with a draw, too.

That makes the DRAW appealing. Croatia have struggled creatively, producing just 2.35 xGF from 16 shots, while Ghana have conceded only 2.09 xGA and kept consecutive clean sheets.

Expect a similar pattern to Ghana's game with England: Croatia dominate possession but struggle to create, while the expected humidity (around 78%) should further slow the tempo.

For those chasing a bigger price, No Goalscorer at +800 also has appeal.

Panama vs England Prediction: 2-0 England

• England Moneyline and Under 3.5 Goals (+105)

England were frustrated by Ghana but that experience could prove valuable against another compact opponent.

Panama are already out, while victory should secure top spot for the Three Lions, who may ease off if they establish a comfortable lead.

I'm happy to stick with ENGLAND TO WIN & UNDER 3.5 GOALS. It covers the likeliest scorelines, and Tuchel's side have conceded just 0.87 xGA across two matches.

Panama have defended reasonably well despite losing twice, while the warm, humid conditions should also help keep the scoring down.

Colombia vs Portugal Prediction: 2-1 Portugal

• Luis Diaz to Commit 2 or More Fouls (-115)

Both sides are through, but only victory guarantees Portugal top spot and a more favorable knockout route.

Expect a competitive game despite the brutal Miami heat, with Portugal's possession game perhaps better suited to the conditions.

I'll take LUIS DÍAZ TO COMMIT 2+ FOULS. Fresh from making three against DR Congo, he'll be leading Colombia's press and disrupting Portugal's rhythm.

He averaged 1.35 fouls per 90 for Bayern last season, 1.77 in World Cup qualifying and 2.46 at Copa América 2024. The only slight concern is referee Alireza Faghani, who tends to let plenty go.

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Prediction: 2-0 Congo

• DR Congo Moneyline and Under 3.5 Goals (+129)

DR Congo simply need to beat the already-eliminated Uzbeks to reach the knockouts and they've been excellent defensively, limiting Portugal and Colombia to modest attacking numbers.

Rather than taking the straight win, DR CONGO TO WIN & UNDER 3.5 GOALS looks the better angle.

Their strength is defensive organization rather than free-flowing attack, so a controlled 1-0 or 2-0 victory feels the likeliest outcome.

Algeria vs Austria Prediction: 1-1 Draw

• No Bet

Another clash where a draw suits both sides. Algeria and Austria sit level on three points, and a point would almost certainly send both through.

With so much at stake, it's easy to see why the draw has been backed into 5/4.

It's a NO BET for me, though if you want interest, the 0-0, 1-1 and 2-2 correct scores all make some appeal.

Jordan vs Argentina Prediction: 2-0 Argentina

• Argentina Win to Nil and Argentina Over 1.5 Goals (-127)

Argentina are already confirmed as group winners, while Jordan are out, making this the definition of a dead rubber.

Rotation is the obvious question, but even if Lionel Scaloni changes plenty, Argentina's squad depth should still prove far too strong.

I'll back ARGENTINA TO WIN TO NIL & SCORE 2+ GOALS.

Jordan have conceded 2+ goals in all five of their games in 2026, while Argentina have scored at least twice in eight straight matches, winning to nil in seven. They've also conceded just 13 shots (0.85 xGA) across their opening two World Cup games.
