The World Cup 2026 continues to deliver a mass of football action as teams start competing in their second matchdays of the group stage, including interesting matches between USA and Australia, Scotland and Morocco and Brazil and Haiti later today.
Read on for best booking codes to use at Bet9ja, with all odds available at the time of writing:
USA vs Australia
USA secured an emphatic 4-1 win in their opening game of the World Cup game against Paraguay, while Australia managed to pull off a surprise 2-0 victory against Turkey in their opening Group D game.
Despite their win, the Socceroos had to rely on heroics from goalkeeper Patrick Beach, who made eight saves throughout the game, and with the USA’s attacking quality demonstrated in their opening game, the Australian goalkeeper is likely to be busy once again.
However, replicating such a heroic performance is unlikely, leading us to expect USA to breach Australia’s defence and ultimately secure the win.
USA to win, 1.63
Folarin Balogun scored twice in the superb 4-1 victory against Paraguay, becoming just the second player to score more than once in a World Cup game for the USA since 1930.
The striker has now scored three goals in his last three games for the USA, and with the Stars and Stripes expected to dominate the encounter and create plenty of chances against Australia, we are backing Balogun to score once again.

Scotland vs Morocco
Scotland may have secured 1-0 win against Haiti in their opening game, but Steve Clarke’s side were far from impressive, with Haiti even holding more possession (54%) and taking more shots (15) than Scotland (nine).
In comparison, Morocco were held to a 1-1 draw against Brazil but were certainly the stronger team in that clash, demonstrating more energy and quality in the final third, and they will be full of confidence heading into this clash with Scotland.
Given the quality shown by the Atlas Lions against Brazil, alongside Scotland’s struggles against the lesser Haiti, we are backing Morocco to win this one.
Morocco to win, 1.75
Ismael Saibari had a fantastic opening game for Morocco as the starting striker, with the forward demonstrating his ability to drop deep and link up play while also causing a threat with his runs in behind, including brilliantly chipping Alisson to score Morocco’s opening goal.
That goal marked his third goal in his last three Morocco appearances, while he has netted six goals in his last six matches for club and country.
With Morocco expected to create plenty of chances against a Scotland side that conceded 15 shots to Haiti in the opening game, we are backing Saibari to continue his goalscoring form with another goal.

Brazil vs Haiti
Brazil may have had an underwhelming performance in their 1-1 draw with Morocco, but the quality of their forward players was on show during periods of the match, including Vinicius Junior scoring a stunning equaliser.
Although Haiti were unfortunate to lose against Scotland, taking more shots and holding more possession than their opponents, they head into this game against Brazil as the major underdogs and will expect to be under immense pressure throughout the match.
Given the star quality in Brazil’s attack, such as Vinicius Junior and Raphinha, we are backing Carlo Ancelotti’s side to ultimately prove too much to handle and secure the victory.
Brazil to win, 1.13
Brazil faced a difficult first game against Morocco, but Vinicius Junior was one of few players who stepped up to the occasion, scoring a wonderful equaliser to earn his country a point.
Now facing an inferior Haiti team, Vinicius Junior, who has scored seven goals in his last nine matches for club and country, will fancy his chances of getting the better of the opposition defence, and we are backing the forward to score again.
Vinicius Junior to score anytime, 1.85
