Daily tips for July 6
Portugal vs Spain
Spain Moneyline (-111)
Portugal may have beaten Spain last summer in the Nations League on penalties, but La Roja enters this fixture as the better-looking side in this World Cup. Luis de la Fuente's men have yet to concede through four games, and they're coming off their most complete performance so far, hammering Austria 3-0. Selecao, meanwhile, just barely beat an aging Croatia team and hasn't looked particularly convincing throughout the World Cup. I expect a highly competitive affair, but Spain's ability to defend and their weapons in the final third give them the advantage. Mikel Oyarzabal continues to flourish in front of goal for La Roja, and he's a fantastic bet to hit the back of the net again.
🗸 Long Shot: Mikel Oyarzabal Anytime Goal (+140)
🗸 Extra Tip: Spain Clean Sheet (+154)
United States vs Belgium
USA Moneyline (+175)
This current United States side has looked phenomenal in the World Cup. They're young, hungry, and firing on all cylinders under Mauricio Pochettino. Belgium is an aging team, and while their two-goal comeback in the Round of 32 was impressive, the Red Devils have had a very average tournament overall. This is the States' best opportunity to beat them. Although leading man Folarin Balogun is sidelined due to a red card, Mauricio Pochettino's squad has enough firepower to produce the goods on home soil. I'm eyeing none other than Christian Pulisic to be the hero for the US. His team will need him to step up as the main man in front of goal, and the AC Milan star will deliver.
🗸 Long Shot: Christian Pulisic Anytime Goal (+210)
🗸 Extra Tip: Under 2.5 Goals (+110)
