Germany vs Curacao Prediction   I am not sure if I am being brave or stupid here but I am betting Curacao 3.5 and under 4.25 goals scored in this match, Curacao were beaten 4-1 by Scotland in a warm up game but Curacao had a man sent off when winning 1-0, obviously the sending off changed the game and the Scots were clinical in the end running out 4-1 winners but I was impressed by Curacao. They have team who have a strong Dutch background and all the players bar Tahith Chong were born outside ...

Netherlands vs Japan Prediction I am betting the Netherlands -0.5, they face a good side in Japan but I think the Dutch may actually be a little underrated for both this game and for the tournament as a whole, they have a world class back 4 and they have excellent players in front of them, they were only beaten in the quarter finals of the last tournament by the eventual winners and that was on penalties, I think they will fancy their chances of going further this time. In their opening match t...

Qatar vs Switzerland Prediction   I am betting Switzerland -1.75 when they play Qatar, I believe Qatar are the worst team at the World Cup and in the 3rd round group of the Asian qualifiers they conceded 24 in their 10 games and for their last qualifying match at home they were underdogs to the UAE. I think the Swiss being an above average European team will make short work of them, the Swiss know this should be a chance to get their goals difference up too so I am adding the over 2.75 goals as ...

Haiti vs Scotland Prediction I think Scotland are the 2nd worst team to qualify from Europe and for me they have been very fortunate to make it to the finals instead of Denmark, they play a Haiti team who may be underestimated but unlike other first group games I think both these teams need to win this game in order to qualify and that will mean pressure on the Scots, they would be more than happy with a 1-0 win but Haiti have shown they have players that should enable them to compete. The like...

Brazil vs Morrocco Prediction   I am betting Morocco 0.75 here, they face a Brazilian team who feel like they are possibly in a good place for this world cup however the odds more than justify that suspicion on what they have shown so far in both the qualifiers and their warm up matches. Morocco have players playing at the very highest level, they finished 4th in the 2022 world cup in Qatar and that experience should stand them in good stead ahead of tournament. A point each would not be the en...

USA vs Paraguay Prediction I am betting Paraguay here 0.5 and under 2.25 goals scored, Paraguay have been dealt a blow when attacker Julio Enciso was stretchered off injured in a warm up match v Nicaragua, however he has not been totally ruled out of this game but the betting markets have reacted negatively as one would expect when a team lose one of their best players. However, I believe they have overreacted, Paraguay are a solid team and only conceded 10 goals in their 18 games in qualifica...

Canada vs Bosnia & Hetzegovina Prediction   Canada are likely to be without star player Alphnso Davies of Bayern Munich but I am still betting them here when they host a Bosnia team who against all odds have made it to the world cup finals and they will do well to make it out of their group, they start with a difficult fixture against one of the joint hosts in Canada. I think Bosnia are at the world cup due to luck rather than ability, Wales should have beaten them hitting the crossbar and post ...
