The World Cup 2026 continues to deliver plenty of football as teams from around the globe kick-start their group stage campaigns, including three exciting matches set to unfold throughout Sunday.
Read on for best booking codes to use at Bet9ja, with all odds available at the time of writing:
Australia vs Turkey
Turkey head into their opening Group D encounter in fantastic form, with seven wins and one draw in their last eight games, while Australia have struggled in their recent outings, losing four, drawing one and winning two of their last seven matches.
Alongside the stronger form, Turkey certainly boast the superior talent throughout their squad, including the likes of Kenan Yildiz and Arda Guler, and we expect this to help Turkey secure the victory.
Turkey to win, 1.72 – 5H8CVL9
Baris Yilmaz enjoyed a strong campaign for Galatasaray, scoring 10 and assisting 12 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions, and the forward carried that form into Turkey’s two warm-up fixtures.
Yilmaz scored the fourth in his nation’s 4-0 win against North Macedonia before netting the equaliser in Turkey’s eventual 2-1 triumph against Venezuela, and with his goalscoring form in mind, we believe Yilmaz will get on the scoresheet once again against Australia.
Baris Yilmaz to score anytime, 3.50 – 5H8D7YJ
Germany vs Curacao
Germany are enjoying a fantastic run heading into this clash with Curacao, boasting wins in all of their last nine games, while Curacao have lost three, drawn one and won only one of their last five.
Germany will undoubtedly be the favourites to claim a considerable victory against Curacao, who demonstrated their defensive frailties with defeats to Scotland (4-1), Australia (5-1) and China (2-0).
Given Germany’s stronger attacking quality compared to those three sides, Julian Nagelsmann’s side will be expected to win with a significant scoreline, leading us to expect over 2.5 goals scored.
Germany & over 2.5 goals, 1.17 – 5H8DC79
Kai Havertz may have had an injury-hit season for Arsenal, but the forward enjoyed an impressive end to the 2025/26 campaign, scoring three goals in the final six matches for the Gunners, including the opener in the eventual Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The forward continued his form with another goal in Germany’s 2-1 victory against USA, and with Nagelsmann’s side expected to create plenty of chances against the inferior Curacao, we believe Havertz will get on the scoresheet once again.
Kai Havertz to score anytime, 1.55 – 5H8DJQ7
Netherlands vs Japan
Netherlands and Japan will face off in an intriguing opening clash in Group F, with both teams battling to secure top spot in the group.
15 of the Netherlands’ last 16 matches have featured over 1.5 goals, while five of Japan’s last eight games have seen multiple goals scored.
Given the attacking ability of both teams, we believe both will be able to breach their opposition’s defence, and with the high-scoring nature of recent matches involving these teams, we are predicting over 1.5 goals here.
Over 1.5 goals, 1.31 – 5H8DNQQ
Cody Gakpo may not always be the most consistent player for Liverpool, but the forward has always stepped up to the plate for the Netherlands, including three goals in the 2024 European Championship and three goals in the World Cup 2022.
As a back-and-forth match is anticipated between two strong attacking teams, we believe the Netherlands will create several chances, and given Gakpo’s track record of scoring on the biggest stages for his country, we are backing the forward to score again here.
Cody Gakpo to score anytime, 3.25 – 5H8DXKN
