Spain vs Cape Verde: FIFA World Cup Best Bets Today

Before they have even kicked a ball in North America, Spain are many people’s tips to win the World Cup. The current European champions have one of the strongest squads on paper and could be the team to beat this summer.

La Roja kick off their tournament with a meeting with World Cup debutants Cape Verde. While the Spaniards are one of the most experienced teams in world football, this will be the Blue Sharks’ first-ever World Cup game.

Bubista has done a terrific job in the Cape Verde hot seat, and the West African nation booked their place in the 2026 World Cup by picking up an impressive seven wins from ten qualifiers. However, they could have a tough time in the tournament.

With Saudi Arabia and Uruguay in the group, looking at the latest World Cup Group H odds, Spain are the massive favourites to finish top, while Cape Verde have been tipped to exit at the bottom.

Spain will fancy their chances of getting their campaign up and running with a routine victory in Georgia. The UEFA Euro 2024 winners should be too hot to handle for Cape Verde, and there is good value in 10Bet’s price of 17/10 for the Spaniards to win -3.

Our Prediction: Spain to Win -3 – 17/10

Belgium vs Egypt: World Cup Best Bets

Belgium kick-start their 2026 World Cup with a fixture against Egypt at Lumen Field. With Iran and New Zealand also in the group, the Belgians are looking to progress to the knockout phase as Group G winners.

While not one of the outright favourites, the Red Devils are looking to go far in North America. They finished third in Russia eight years ago and still have a talented squad of top players.

Despite Mohamed Salah being their main man, this will be a tough first assignment for Egypt. They will be looking for a top-two finish in Group H, but getting anything from game one will be a tall order for Hossam Hassan’s side.

Belgium are looking to put on a show in Seattle, and Rudi Garcia’s troops have the potential to cruise to victory. You can get World Cup odds of 57/20 for the Belgians to win both halves.

Our Prediction: Belgium to Win Both Halves – 57/20

Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay: World Cup Predictions Today

Saudi Arabia and Uruguay go head-to-head in Group H action at the impressive Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The Uruguayans are the favourites, but can the Saudis cause another huge World Cup upset?

In their opening game of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Saudi Arabia stunned eventual winners Argentina, coming from behind to win 2-1. However, repeating that feat in the United States four years on will be a tall order for the Green One.

Uruguay are one of the unpredictable teams at this World Cup. The South American nation has the potential to go far, and they have one of the most experienced managers in the dugout in Marcelo Bielsa.

We fancy former Liverpool man Darwin Nunez to score the opening goal (7/2), and there is top value in 11/10 for the Sky Blue to be winning at half time and full time.

Our Prediction: Uruguay HT/FT – 11/10
