CANADA V QATAR

33. Canada win to Nil @ 2.06/+106 (2u) Pinnacle

Lean

Canada -1.5  @ 1.91/-110  Bet365

It looks like Canada will be without Alphonso Davies again and I expect Cyle Larin to start replacing Oluwaseyi. My pre tournament convictions have not changed I still think Qatar is not good and is not a very threat to score. We need Jonathan David to wake up as well and if his number to score anytime was better I would have backed him..

Canada should win this otherwise as hosts I mean what are we doing here as a program?

@DiamondJack SWI worth it at -120 here?

No... they are playing like shit and Bosnia is parking the double decker bus.

I would wait to see if they change their approach in the second half

MEXICO V KOREA

34. Mexico Team shots on target OVER 4.5 @ 2.10/+110 (1u) Bet365

Lean

Korea Total shots OVER 9.5 @ 2.00/+100  Bet365

These sides recently met back in September and the ended level 2-2. I think now with the pressure a little off with the Czechia/South Africa result we see more of an open game. Once again I am not double dipping as I'm already backing Mexico in futures. Mexico had 6 shots on target in that 2-2 meeting. Korea had 11 total shots they also had 15 versus Czechia. Korea does not sit back so I see them trying to shoot when they can.

GOAL CANADA!

GOAL CANADA!

USA V AUSTRALIA

35. USA -1 @ 2.11/+111 (1u) Pinnacle

36. USA total shots on target OVER 5.5 @ 2.20/+120 (1/2 u) Bet365

Lean

Florian Balogun to score or assist anytime @ 1.80/-125  Bet365

The USA is not losing this game. I rate Australia about the same as Paraguay. These sides just met in October with the US winning 2-1. If one does not like pushes you can combine the US ML with an alt corner total over or USA over shots in a SGP to get that price less juicy. Florian Balogun had 5 shots in the opening game and scored 2 goals which puts him at 5 in the past 6 international games. The Aussies were lucky versus the Turks they only had 28% of the possession and faced 30 shots. The Americans had 6 shots on target versus Paraguay. 

SCOTLAND V MOROCCO

37. Morocco ML + Ismael Saibari Shot on target(SGP) @ 2.20/+120 (1u) Bet365

Lean

Andy Robertson 2+ fouls committed @ 2.75/+175  Bet365 

As previously mentioned I'm pretty big on Morocco and their long unbeaten run will continue here. Scotland actually impressed versus Haiti they were hard to break down but playing Morocco is another level. This will be a horrible match up for Scottish captain Robertson. He has Hakimi and Diaz on the left who versus Brazil were fouled 5 and 3 times respectively. Robertson committed 2 fouls vs Haiti. PSV attacker Ismael Saibari scored versus Brazil and had 3 shots on goal. He has also had a goal and seven shots in his previous game for an xG of 0.71. I also considered of taking him to score or assist anytime.

@DiamondJack

 What do you think of the Aussies defence and goalkeeping? Was awesome vs the turks. Sneaky offence too can score on US.

Great picks  for Today. With ya on both.
