Portugal vs Uzbekistan parlay: +300
After a disappointing result in their opener, Portugal need to get the offense going against an Uzbekistan side that conceded three goals to Colombia in their first match. Portugal enter as a -550 favorite, and this is the highest-projected scoring game on the slate.
Cristiano Ronaldo (-175) didn't make my card in the opener, but he's making it this time in a game where Portugal could easily score three goals.
I'm pairing him with Bruno Fernandes (+130), who played the full 90 minutes against Congo and finished as one of the highest-rated players on the pitch.
If Portugal hit their team total, there's a strong chance both of these names are involved.

England vs Ghana parlay: +450
If England's attack looks anything like it did against Croatia, this could be another four-goal effort — especially considering their own defensive leaks.
Harry Kane (-138) lived up to the hype in the opener with two goals, including a penalty, while firing seven shots. Jude Bellingham (+200) also found the back of the net and finished with the second-most shots on the team behind Kane.
These two ended the 4-2 win over Croatia with the most touches in the opposition box and remain the focal points of England's attack heading into today.

Croatia vs Panama parlay: +700
Croatia went toe-to-toe with England in their opener and enter this match as a -200 favorite. The Croatians scored twice against England and had at least three goals in each of their final three qualification matches.
They're expected to do the heavy lifting offensively against a Panama side that was blanked by Ghana in their opener.
Ivan Perisic (+210) was the highest-rated Croatian player against England and played the full 90 minutes. Petar Musa (+137) got the start up top and found the back of the net in the 4-2 loss. He should get another look in the starting XI tonight.

Colombia vs Congo parlay: +700
Colombia have played to six Over 2.5s in their last seven international matches and hung three goals on Uzbekistan in their opener.
Luis Diaz (+175) was outstanding and finished as the top-rated player in the match. He scored, led the game in touches inside the opposition box, and looked like Colombia's most dangerous attacker throughout.
I'm staying square and adding Luis Suarez (+175) to the card. He entered the tournament in great form with six goals in his last seven matches and should get the start up front on Tuesday.
If Colombia keeps up their recent scoring pace, these are two of the most likely names to find the scoresheet.
