Tunisia vs Netherlands
Brian Brobbey (Netherlands) to have 1.5 shots on target
Sunderland striker Brobbey’s tournament sparked to life when he was chosen to start against Sweden on matchday two in Group F. The 24-year-old bagged an excellent brace in Houston in an emphatic 5-1 Dutch victory, so Brobbey is virtually certain to keep his place against Tunisia.
The Tunisians are already eliminated, having lost twice in as many games while shipping a massive nine goals along the way. Brobbey, who averaged a decent 1.68 shots and 0.84 shots on target per 90 minutes during his maiden Premier League campaign with Sunderland, will fancy his chances of tearing into that brittle Tunisia backline. With that in mind, our bet builder bets today back Brobbey to register at least two shots on target again.
Recommended bet: Brian Brobbey (Netherlands) to have 1.5 shots on target
Japan vs Sweden
Keito Nakamura (Japan) to concede over 0.5 fouls
Next, we head to Arlington, where Japan and Sweden collide to determine who will finish second in the Group F World Cup standings. Tensions should be high at the AT&T Stadium and among the numerous foul-market candidates, Keito Nakamura looks like the standout.
The 25-year-old committed two fouls against the Netherlands and one against Tunisia in his two starts in the tournament so far, and the left wing back could be in direct opposition to jet-heeled Swedish winger Anthony Elanga on Friday, if, as expected, the Newcastle man starts. Nakamura is fancied to give away 1+ free kicks for the third game running here.
Recommended bet: Keito Nakamura (Japan) to concede over 0.5 fouls
Turkey vs USA
Over 10.5 Turkey shots
Turkey have already been eliminated from Group D, having lost twice in as many games, however, they were unfortunate to finish both of those contests with nothing, having racked up 30 attempts against Australia on matchday one and another 32 against Paraguay after that.
In fact, no other team at the World Cup has been averaging more attempts per game than Vincenzo Montella’s luckless side and our best bet builder tips for Friday’s clash in Inglewood, back the Crescent Stars to hit double-figure shots again. Their opponents, the USA, have already secured qualification and are expected to rotate their XI to keep star players fresh. Against a weakened outfit, Turkey can clear a modest target of over 10.5 shots.
Recommended bet: Over 10.5 Turkey shots
Paraguay vs Australia
Andres Cubas (Paraguay) to concede over 1.5 fouls
Cubas has been one of the World Cup’s biggest enigmas so far, in that the combative midfielder has somehow avoided a booking despite committing more fouls than any other player at the tournament so far. From a football betting tips perspective however, the 30-year-old offers bags of value again in the over 1.5 foul range.
Paraguay have been averaging 16 fouls and 24 tackles per game at the World Cup, figures that make the South Americans a top-three performer for both metrics. Cubas meanwhile, has committed a meaty ten fouls so far, split evenly across outings against the USA (5) and Turkey (5). Those aggressive player stats are difficult to ignore and Cubas is likely to tackle with just as much ferocity against Australia.
Recommended bet: Andres Cubas (Paraguay) to concede over 1.5 fouls
Norway vs France
David Moller Wolfe (Norway) to concede over 1.5 fouls
Norway’s encounter with France has been billed as a shootout between superstar strikers Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, however, punters are advised to look away from the bright lights and towards a more solid football bet builder selection from the foul markets instead.
There, Norwegian left back David Moller Wolfe is a prospect worth backing in the over 1.5 fouls range. The 24-year-old committed five fouls across his first two runouts in Group I (3 vs Iraq, 2 vs Senegal) and on Friday, the Wolves defender will be tasked with marking French world-beating winger, Michael Olise.
Recommended bet: David Moller Wolfe (Norway) to concede over 1.5 fouls
Senegal vs Iraq
Ismaila Sarr (Senegal) to have 0.5 shots on target
Crystal Palace attacker Sarr has undoubtedly been Senegal’s star man at the World Cup so far and the explosive winger is fancied to impress again by clocking at least one shot on target against Iraq at BMO Field in Toronto.
The 28-year-old has already had more shots (9) and more shots on target (3) than any other Senegalese player at the tournament, while his two-goal showing against Norway last time out should sharpen his confidence even further. Iraq should struggle to cope with Sarr’s running power and a single shot on target feels like a modest expectation for the Lions de la Téranga’s talisman.
Recommended bet: Ismaila Sarr (Senegal) to have 0.5 shots on target
