Argentina vs Austria
Argentina enjoyed a stunning opening to their World Cup title defence, defeating Algeria 3-0 thanks to a stunning hat-trick from the legendary Lionel Messi.
Although Algeria did cause problems for Argentina, Lionel Scaloni’s side were scintillating in attack, and as they now face an Austria side that looked vulnerable at times against a weaker Jordan side, conceding 11 shots and one goal, we are backing Argentina’s stunning forward line to lead them to victory.
Argentina to win, 1.64
Messi was named the player of the tournament at the 2022 World Cup, and the legendary forward certainly picked up where he left off against Algeria, scoring three goals and having another ruled out for an offside.
Now set to face an Austria side that showed vulnerabilities against Jordan, we are backing Messi to demonstrate his remarkable ability once again and get on the scoresheet for Argentina.

France vs Iraq
France had a disappointing first-half against Senegal but certainly turned up the level in the second half, creating four big chances and scoring three goals as they eventually secured a 3-1 victory.
Didier Deschamps’ side will be massively encouraged by that performance and will aim to resume their second-half showing when they take on Group I underdogs Iraq, who lost 4-1 to Norway in their opening game.
Given the superstar quality in France’s attack, including Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola, among others, we are backing Deschamps’ side to prove too much for Iraq to handle and to secure a comfortable victory.
France to win, 1.10
Kylian Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the best World Cup players of all time, with the striker’s brace against Senegal taking his tally to 14 goals in just three tournaments, leaving him only two goals behind the all-time record at World Cups.
As France are expected to dominate proceedings and create a mass of chances against Iraq, we are backing the clinical Mbappe to move closer to the all-time record by grabbing another goal for France.
Kylian Mbappe to score anytime, 1.50
Norway vs Senegal
Norway and Senegal both demonstrated their qualities in their respective opening games, in which Norway won 4-1 against Iraq and Senegal lost 3-1 to France.
Norway’s attacking quality was undeniable but their backline did look vulnerable, while Senegal gave France’s star-studded squad a difficult test before they eventually succumbed to their stunning quality.
Now set to go face-to-face, we are anticipating an exciting match between two evenly-matched sides, and with the attacking ability and defensive vulnerability of both sides on show in their opening games, we believe this clash will deliver over 1.5 goals.
Over 1.5 Goals, 1.31
Erling Haaland announced himself to the World Cup stage with a debut brace against Iraq, and the striker will undoubtedly be Norway’s biggest attacking threat when they take on Senegal.
As plenty of chances are expected in an energetic and back-and-forth clash between Norway and Senegal, we believe Haaland will show his clinical ability once again and get on the scoresheet.
Erling Haaland to score anytime, 2.30
