USA vs Australia goal scorer prediction: Folarin Balogun

Pick made by Jason Ence.

Balogun’s scoring odds have dropped from the +200 we got him at in the opener, but I’m still backing him here. 

It’s not just that he scored two goals. It’s what he did for his entire time on the pitch. Balogun’s movement continuously caused problems for the Paraguay back line, as they were having to track him as he drifted wide in addition to him continuously operating in their blind spots.

His ability to create spaces for service from the likes of Pulisic and Tillman is a trait the Americans have lacked at this position for a very long time. 

He’s in tremendous form, and we’re backing him yet again to score at plus-money.

Morocco vs Scotland goal scorer prediction: Brahim Diaz

Pick made by Sam Farley.

Ismael Saibari got the goal against Brazil, but he was tied for both shots and shots on target with Brahim Diaz, who offers a better value way to attack the goalscorer market.

Diaz might start on the right, but he uses Achraf Hakimi’s runs up the flank to create space in which he can move in behind or more centrally. That allows him to take up dangerous positions, as he did against the Brazilians. He’s also likely to take penalties that Morocco win, meaning that there’s an added layer of potential value by wagering on him.

Brazil vs Haiti goal scorer prediction: Vinicius Jr.

Pick made by Emanuel Rosu.

Vinicius Jr. has scored in two of Brazil's last three competitive matches. He was also on target against Morocco and will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet again against Haiti.

This looks like his best opportunity to pad his numbers during the group stage, and I'd be surprised if he let it pass him by.

Turkey vs Paraguay goal scorer prediction: Julio Enciso

Pick made by Emanuel Rosu.

Julio Enciso has had Over 1.5 shots in four of his last five appearances for his national team and logged 3+ shots in three of those matches, managing to either score or assist in three of his last four appearances for Paraguay.

He contributed to nine goals (scoring and assisting) in the French Ligue 1 for Strasbourg last season. He's in form and hungry to deliver for his country.
