USA vs Australia (Friday, 8pm)
USA made a superb start to their World Cup campaign on home soil, beating Paraguay 4-1 after racing into a three-goal lead at half-time.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men will be eager to build on that performance when they take on Australia in Seattle and three points would put them firmly in the driving seat to reach the knockouts.
However, the Socceroos will also head into the game with great confidence after earning a 2-0 win over Turkey in their Group D opener. Tony Popovic’s men faced 27 shots but managed to keep a clean sheet and score two important goals.
USA are the favourites and should take advantage of Australia’s open defence. However, the Socceroos will find chances too with the Stars and Stripes failing to keep a clean sheet in nine games. Backing a US victory and both teams to score looks like a smart play.
USA to win and both teams to score vs Australia @ 49/20
Score prediction: USA 2-1 Australia

Scotland vs Morocco (Friday, 11pm)
Scotland earned a hugely important three points when they beat Haiti in their opening Group C game as Steve Clarke’s men knew the almighty challenge which lay ahead.
First up it’s Morocco, and then the legendary Brazil, so a win against the Grenadiers was crucial for any hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
While Scotland managed to score four goals on two separate occasions in recent friendlies with Curacao and Bolivia, they drew a blank when facing superior opposition in Japan and the Ivory Coast back in March.
The Scots go into the game with the Atlas Lions as underdogs and even scoring may prove difficult.
With quality players like Achraf Hakimi and Brahim Diaz, Morocco held Brazil in the first game and are an experienced outfit after reaching the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar four years ago.
Tipped as dark horses to go far again in the tournament, Morocco should possess too much nous and skill for the Scots who will likely have to sit deep for much of the game.
Morocco to win to nil vs Scotland @ 29/20
Score prediction: Scotland 0-2 Morocco

Brazil vs Haiti (Saturday, 1.30am)
Brazil had to settle for a point in their opening Group C game with Morocco so will be eager to pick up three and put on a show against Haiti in Philadelphia.
Scoring 11 goals in three friendly matches during the build-up to the World Cup, Brazil’s forward players will be determined to join Vinicius Junior on the scoresheet.
The Real Madrid winger, who scored five goals in his last six La Liga matches before grabbing another in May’s 6-2 win over Panama, equalised for his country in the opening game and will look to strike fear into the Haiti defence in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Grenadiers have kept only one clean sheet in five matches and Brazil should find joy breaking down the Haiti rearguard who lost to Scotland without reply a week ago.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men should be relatively untroubled at the back and so backing the South Americans to win to nil could prove a wise wager.
Brazil to win to nil vs Haiti @ 8/13
Score prediction: Brazil 4-0 Haiti

Turkey vs Paraguay (Saturday, 4am)
Turkey did all they could to score against Australia in their opening Group D game but couldn’t find a way past goalkeeper Patrick Beach.
The Crescent-Stars hit 27 shots against the Socceroos but came away with zero points after Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe scored in each half for Australia.
While Turkey can be confident after a positive showing, Saturday’s opponents Paraguay had an opening game to forget and will be eager to move on quickly after losing 4-1 to the US.
The South Americans will be underdogs when they take on Vincenzo Montella’s outfit and while another defeat looks likely, backing Paraguay to score may prove smart as the Red and White have netted in eight of their last nine matches.
Turkey to win vs Paraguay @ 10/11
Score prediction: Turkey 2-1 Paraguay
