FIFA World Cup

The Group Stage of the World Cup is now over, we are into the knockout stages now. There is no second chances anymore for these teams, it is a win or go home situation. We have three brilliant games today, with 2 of the 3 some of the best matchups of the round of 32.

Lets dive in, we have 3 player props in good spots for the games today. 2 big name stars and an up and comer you need to know about!

Featured Plays

Felix Nmecha 2+ Shots

Felix Nmecha has been a bit of a breakout star for the Germans this World Cup. He plays for Borussia Dortmund, so he is no slouch, but he is getting alot of praise for his recent performances. I want to take a look at his shot prop, which has been brilliant this tournament.

Nmecha has 8 shots in 3 games so far this world cup. Typically he arrives late and takes a shot from distance, which is a positive as I dont think Paraguay will be pushing forward. With the 10 or 11 men behind the ball, I  think Nmecha will get chances to pop a couple shots from deep – and we only need 2. He gets involved right outside the box and picks his moments, but hes a true box to box midfielder who is always around the area.

Prop Bet: Felix Nmecha 2+ Shots (-140) Lucky Rebel

Vinicus Junior To Score or Assist

Brazil can win the group with a win, assuming Morocco doesn't catch them on goal differential - World Cup Picks

Brazil enters the knockout stages with a pivotal match vs Japan.

Vini has been one of, if not THE best players in the World Cup. He has surpassed alot of expectations and has certainly been the best Brazilian player at the World Cup.  Vini has 4 goals and 5 total goal involvements this tournament, including a tough team in Morocco.

Japan are not slouches, they are very well trained and will be a tough team to breakdown but Vini has been on incredible form and I expect that to carry on here today.

Prop Bet: Vinicius Junior To Score or Assist (-135) Lucky Rebel

Achraf Hakimi 2+ Shots

Hakimi is the leader of this Moroccan team, who should not be taken lightly. Hakimi has 10 shots in the 3 games this World Cup so far, and hes getting very forward for this Moroccan attack. He will need to be slightly safer with a scary Netherlands side, but he also is in charge of some set pieces for the Moroccans as well.

Hakimi averages the 2nd most shots per game for the Moroccans over the last year, averaging more shots then Brahim Diaz, but he has a significantly better price on the books. Ill take my chances, especially with Hakimi typically playing the full 90 minutes.

Prop Bet: Achraf Hakimi 2+ Shots (+110) Lucky Rebel
