FIFA World Cup
The FIFA World Cup gives us four matches on Friday's slate to wager on! While it may be tough to decipher some value on the board, our soccer experts dug into the slate and found their favorite World Cup picks to share with you! Take a peak at them below!
Check out the best odds on the market and tons of picks in different soccer leagues across the world.
United States vs. Australia FIFA World Cup Picks
Malik Tillman and the United States earned three points against Paraguay. Will they do so again today against Australia?
Best Bet: United States -1 (+107) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
Pulisic or not, the USMNT looked phenomenal against Paraguay. This match against Australia likely decides the group, and Pochettino should have his guys fired up.
Officially, I have paired the United States ML with Morocco's ML for a +179 two team parlay. However, for plus money and push potential, I don't hate them to cover this asian spread.
You can read my full breakdown here, but I'll be backing the Stars and Stripes in Seattle.
Morocco vs. Scotland FIFA World Cup Picks
Brahim Diaz and Morocco came out with a draw against Brazil. Look for them to be hungry for a win against Scotland this evening.
Best Bet: Morocco ML (-136) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
Like I said, I paired this with the United States ML. However, if the US does not win, I will double down and take Morocco's ML solo to make up for the losses. I have tons of faith in this "dark horse" team, that has world class talent, made it to the semis four years ago, and is currently a top 10 team in the world.
Scotland was unimpressive in my eyes against Haiti. Yes they won, which should be enough to get through to the next round. But they have their toughest tests ahead still, and I think this Moroccan team is too good to fade in this spot.
Brazil vs. Haiti FIFA World Cup Picks
I do not have a wager in this contest. Brazil should run up the score and win easily, but part of me thinks Haiti could be frisky. If you needed to bet something, maybe go with Both Teams to Score at +150, but otherwise I'll just be rooting for a draw since we have a future on Morocco to win this group.
Turkey vs. Paraguay FIFA World Cup Picks
Arda Guler and Turkey were shutout in their FIFA World Cup opener. Will they show up tonight against Paraguay?
Best Bet: Both Teams to Score (-110) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
Turkey were blanked in their opener against Australia, but still managed to produce 1.36 expected goals. They just didn't finish. This team is going to come out with plenty of fire, knowing this is their best chance to secure three points and move on to the Round of 32.
The Paraguayan defense was questionable against the United States, and Turkey has just as much attacking power. While I see this being a 1-1 draw, both teams will be aggressive in trying to earn points and a spot in the knockout round. The last thing either of these teams want is to go into their final match without a single point to their record.
