Daily tips for June 30
Ivory Coast vs Norway
Norway Moneyline (+105)
We're in for a tantalizing affair in Arlington between the Ivory Coast and Norway. Both sides grabbed two wins and suffered one defeat in the group stages, and I'm expecting a cagey affair. The Africans are a strong side with real quality throughout the pitch, but I believe Norway's big guns will make the difference. Expect Erling Haaland to add his fifth goal of the tournament after resting in the loss to France, while midfield maestro Martin Odegaaard will play a key part in the engine room. Given Norway's vulnerabilities at the back as well, both teams should rattle the net.
🗸 Long Shot: Erling Haaland Anytime Goal (-133)
🗸 Extra Tip: Both Teams to Score (-141)
France vs Sweden
Over 3.5 Goals (+130)
One of the World Cup favorites has landed a favorable draw in the Round of 32 against Sweden. France has certainly looked the part of a team that could go all the way again, and I'm expecting them to breeze past the Swedes. Didier Deschamps' men bagged 10 goals in just three group stage matches. Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele are firing on all cylinders, with the two combining for eight of their side's goals. Sweden has looked incredibly vulnerable defensively, even conceding five to the Netherlands on matchday two. Better teams have given them trouble in the final third. However, I expect Sweden to score one themselves, given their attacking talent with Viktor Gyokeres, Anthony Elanga, and Alexander Isak.
🗸 Long Shot: Kylian Mbappe Anytime Goal (-147)
🗸 Extra Tip: Both Teams to Score (-105)
Mexico vs Ecuador
Mexico Moneyline (+114)
Mexico gets to play another game at the Estadio Azteca in the Round of 32 as they lock horns with Ecuador, who just snuck into the knockout stages by the skin of their teeth. The South American outfit will be feeling confident after a late victory over Germany on matchday three, but El Tri are also in flying form, having won all three of their group-stage matches and not conceding once. They also bagged six goals. That being said, this will not be an easy go for Mexico. Ecuador is a strong team with a solid back line, while their midfield, anchored by Moises Caicedo, is strong as well. I'm expecting a very slim victory for the Mexicans, who will win by just one goal. Raul Jimenez could be the hero, given his importance in the final third.
🗸 Long Shot: Raul Jimenez Anytime Goal (+210)
🗸 Extra Tip: Mexico to Win by 1 Goal (+240)
