The 2026 FIFA World Cup games are coming thick and fast as the knockouts begin. Brazil, Germany, and Netherlands are in last-32 action today.

In the first Round-of-32 tie of the day, Brazil and Japan lock horns in an intriguing game in Houston. After that, Germany play Paraguay in Massachusetts, while Netherlands and Morocco go head-to-head in Guadalupe.

Brazil vs Japan: FIFA World Cup Best Bets Today

Canada beat Switzerland by a goal to nil in the first last-32 game of the 2026 World Cup, and Brazil face Japan in the second. The winners of this one will play either Ivory Coast or Norway in the Round of 16.

Although not among the elite favourites, Brazil were in the mix for the World Cup winner odds before a ball was kicked. The record winners are now priced at 14/1 to lift the trophy.

Without setting the world alight, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been solid in North America, winning two and drawing one of their three group games. After a 1-1 draw with Morocco, Brazil beat both Haiti and Scotland by three goals to nil.

Japan are many people’s dark horse in the 2026 World Cup, but getting the better of Brazil will not be an easy task. Samurai Blue went through from Group F after taking five points from three fixtures.

The Japanese will undoubtedly play their part in what promises to be an entertaining knockout game, but Brazil should edge it in Houston. Take a punt on the Brazilian win and both teams to score at 29/10.

Our Prediction: Brazil to Win & Both Teams to Score – 29/10

Germany vs Paraguay: World Cup Best Bets

Germany face Paraguay in knockout World Cup action at the sensational Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. The Paraguayans may be an unpredictable outfit, but the Germans are the red-hot favourites.

Despite losing their final Group E match, Germany are in fine form. Before the Ecuador defeat, Julian Nagelsmann’s men had won 11 on the spin. Looking at the World Cup Germany odds, the joint record European World Cup winners are available at 18/1 to win the tournament.

Germany eased into the knockouts with two wins from their opening two, scoring nine goals to boot. However, they lost to Ecuador last time out.

As for Paraguay, they progressed from Group D as one of the best third-place sides. They responded to the heavy 4-1 loss to United States in their opening match by beating Turkey and drawing with Australia.

Germany will surely be too hot to handle in this one, and the Europeans should sail through to the last 16. Check out 10Bet’s odds of 93/100 for the Germans to be winning at half time and full time.

Our Prediction: Germany HT/FT – 93/100

Netherlands vs Morocco: World Cup Predictions Today

Netherlands and Morocco go head-to-head at Estadio BBVA in Guadulupe. This is arguably the most unpredictable Round-of-32 game. Both nations will fancy their chances, but only one can go through to face Canada in Houston in the last 16.

Netherlands have grown into the tournament and have been very easy on the eye. Ronald Koeman’s men topped Group F after winning two and drawing one, scoring ten times along the way.

Morocco, who reached the semi-finals four years ago in Qatar, had to settle for second place behind Brazil. Still, the Atlas Lions were superb in Group C, drawing with the Brazilians before easing past Scotland and Haiti.

This really could go either way, but Oranje’s superior quality in the team should see the Dutch through to the last 16. Netherlands are available at World Cup odds of 5/4 to get the victory in normal time.

Our Prediction: Netherlands Win – 5/4
