Daily tips for July 5
Brazil vs Norway
Brazil Moneyline (-119)
Brazil faces another tough task in the Round of 16 against Norway. Selecao just barely took out Japan in the last round, with Gabriel Martinelli's stoppage-time winner proving to be the difference-maker. However, Japan was honestly a tougher, more organized opponent than Norway. While the Nordic outfit has looked impressive at times in this tournament -- especially in the final third -- they've struggled at the back. Norway conceded twice to Senegal and four times to France. Vinicius Junior's pace and finishing ability will prove problematic for the Norwegian defense. But I expect both sides to score, and don't be surprised if Erling Haaland gets in on the action. He's bagged five in the tournament.
๐ธ Long Shot: Erling Haaland Anytime Goal (+130)
๐ธ Extra Tip: Both Teams to Score (-152)
Mexico vs England
Mexico to Score in First Half (+150)
While I expect this to be an absolute dogfight at the Estadio Azteca, Mexico has been the side that has come out firing early on. They've scored in the first half in two of their four World Cup games so far, but more importantly, England has struggled to find a rhythm in the opening period. The altitude in Mexico City will surely affect the Three Lions, who will have just four days to prepare. Plus, the home atmosphere is a massive advantage for El Tri, and they're in blistering form. England will make this interesting, and I refuse to pick an outright winner, but I do believe the Mexicans will open the scoring. The Three Lions will take time to settle in. I'm also eyeing both teams to score, and talisman Harry Kane is a fantastic option to hit the back of the net. He saved England against Congo, scoring both of their goals.ย
๐ธ Long Shot: Harry Kane Anytime Goal (+160)
