The Acca Scout from oddschecker finds value bets for today's World Cup fixtures, featuring key stats, offers & best of the boosts.
- BEST OF THE BOOSTS: Brazil to win at Evens (Was 1/3)
- MATCH PREVIEW: Ghana vs Uruguay Tips from George Gamble
13:50 Friday
Suarez starts for Uruguay
The 35-year-old striker, left on the bench for his country's second World Cup game against Portugal, will be playing in his 137th international against Ghana.
Suarez is a best price 5/1 to open the scoring (worst price 7/2). He is also a best price 23/5 to receive a card (worst price 7/4).
11:52 Friday
Brazil to build on strong defensive start
Brazil are the only team yet to concede a goal at this year's World Cup. They also didn’t concede a single shot on target across their first two fixtures.
A clean sheet tonight against Cameroon is a best price 19/20.
09:02 Friday
South Korea to face Portugal second string?
Portugal are expected to rest many of their big names in today's Group H finale against South Korea, who look a favourable 3/1 best price to win the game. Remember that Tunisia profited from a similar situation to beat France earlier this week.
15:21 Thursday
Time for a new German hero?
11:57 Thursday
Goals are coming for Germany
Germany have registered an xG of 5.1 from their two matches so far, which suggests the goals are coming against Costa Rica. Hansi Flick's side are a best price 4/7 (worst 4/9) to score over 2.5 goals.
11:09 Thursday
Croatia to continue big match form
Croatia have scored first in four of their last five games against sides currently ranked inside FIFA’s top 10 (today's opponents Belgium are number two).
Given widespread rumours of unrest in the Belgium camp, George Gamble thinks the value bet is Croatia in the Draw No Bet Market (Best Price 9/10).
16:17 Wednesday
Low scoring game expected in Saudi Arabia vs Mexico
Saudi Arabia have failed to score in eight of their 16 fixtures in 2022 - the only time they've found the net more than once was in their 2-1 victory over Argentina last Tuesday.
Tonight's opponents Mexico, meanwhile, have mustered just five shots on target in their first two matches, with each one coming from a different player.
Under 2.5 goals @ Evens in Saudi Arabia vs Mexico looks like a solid bet.
14:18 Wednesday
Mbappe benching opens door for Messi
Lionel Messi was already an attractive 9/1 shot to win the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup even after scoring in Argentina's first two fixtures.
However, his price arguably looks even more favourable now that market leader Kylian Mbappe has been left on the bench for his side's final group game against Tunisia.
The 9/1 on Messi to finish as the tournament's top scorer is 5/1 with one bookmaker.
12:10 Wednesday
Seventh heaven for record-breaking Messi?
Lionel Messi has the chance to score in a seventh consecutive game for Argentina for the first time in today's Group C decider against Poland.
The 35-year-old is set to play his 22nd game at the World Cup, a new record for La Albiceleste. Only Lothar Matthaus (25 matches), Miroslav Klose (24) and Paolo Maldini (23) have featured in more World Cup fixtures.
Messi is a best price 5/4 to score anytime and a top price 7/2 to open the scoring (5/2 worst).
11:50 Wednesday
Denmark's World Cup goalscoring woes continue
Denmark have failed to win any of their last five World Cup games (D4, L1), making it their longest-ever winless run in the competition.
Given this run of form, combined with the fact they haven't scored more than one goal in a World Cup game since a 2-1 victory over Cameroon in 2010, we're leaning towards Under 1.5 goals in the Total Away Goals market (Denmark listed as the away team).
It is a best price 6/5 (worst price Evens).
09:39 Wednesday
Time for teams to open up?
Of the 36 World Cup fixtures played so far, 18 games were 0-0 at half time, while 18 featured goals in the first half. However, three of the first four final group stage matches saw goals in the first half. Are we about to see more early excitement?

Qatar out to avoid setting unwanted record
No single host nation has ever lost as many as three matches at an edition of the World Cup. Can Qatar upset the odds and get a point on the board against Group A favourites the Netherlands? They are a best price 18/5 in the Qatar/Draw Double Chance market (worst price 14/5).
11:19 Tuesday
Everton's Gueye the value card pick in Group A decider
The referee for Ecuador vs Senegal, Clement Turpin, is averaging 3.99 cards per match so likely to dish out a few in today's Group A decider.
Idrissa Gueye (part of today's 15/1 Card Double) has received three yellow cards in 10 matches this season in the Premier League and already has one to his name at the World Cup. He looks a good value pick at 4/1 (worst price 6/4).
16:28 Monday
Best of the boosts catch the eye for Portugal vs Uruguay
The last time Cristiano Ronaldo scored and Portugal lost in any competition or friendly was June 2021 vs Germany (lost 4-2). However, out of Ronaldo’s eight World Cup goals, none have come against South American opposition.
Instead opt for the 71% boost on the former Manchester United forward to have 2+ shots on target, combined with 1+ shot on target for Liverpool's Darwin Nunez.
12:32 Monday
Can Richarlison cover the loss of Neymar?
Across the last two seasons, Brazil have won 91% of the games when Neymar is available - a figure that drops to 60% when he the PSG man is unavailable.
Richarlison, meanwhile, has scored nine goals in his last seven appearances for Brazil in all competitions. Having been almost 5/2 to score anytime against Serbia, the Spurs man is a best price 15/8 to net against the Swiss (17/20 worst price).
09:51 Monday
Brazil v Switzerland tips
George Gamble has a preview for the Brazil vs Switzerland game later on today, which you can read HERE. Brazil will, of course, be the favourites but Switzerland are a tough nut to crack - they conceded just once in their final six qualifiers after Euro 2020.
09:41 Monday
Portugal and Uruguay lock horns
Ahead of Portugal and Uruguay's clash in Group H, George Gamble has a preview of the match between the two teams, which you can read HERE.
11:50 Sunday
Morocco to add to a World Cup of surprises?
This World Cup has certainly brought up a few suprises with Saudi Arabia beating Argentina and Germany losing to Japan.
Belgium were less than convincing in their 1-0 victory over Canada and there are signs that their 'Golden Generation' has reached it end. They still have players who can add bring moments of brilliance but face a well drilled Morocco side who will certainly fancy themselves to cause another upset.
Martinez's men look lost without the country's leading goalscorer Lukaku, who is expected to be sidelined today as well. Morocco are the best price of 18/5 and could be real value to cause another upset.
09:29 Sunday
Japan to continue flawless record against Costa Rica
Today's meeting between Japan and Costa Rica will be the sixth meeting between them since they first went head-to-head in 1995.
The Blue Samurai are to taste defeat to Costa Rica and in their last outing back in 2018 put in a comfortable 3-0 victory with former Liverpool player Takumi Minamino getting on the score sheet.
You can back Hajime Moriyasu's men at the best price off 11/20 to win today but if you fancy a Japan win and over 2.5 goals you can get that at the best price of 9/5.
15:10 Saturday
Giroud to become France's all-time scorer
French striker Olivier Giroud needs one more goal to become his country's all-time leading top scorer - the 36-year-old is tied with Thierry Henry on 51 goals after netting twice in their opener against Australia.
The AC Milan striker is now the best price of 9/4 to score anytime in the match.

TipMan Tips fancies Aissa Laidouni to be carded
Our exclusive card betting tipster TipMan Tips fancies Tuninisan central midfielder Aissa Laidouni to see a card today. Here's what he had to say.
"Laidouni put in some crunching tackles against Denmark and the midfield man is well known for his breaking up of play and tough tackling. On average he is booked every 0.36 games and with a few tricky Australian players in midfield you would expect him to be tested a few times."
Click here to read the rest of article and see who he thinks will get a card in the Argentina vs Mexico game.
13:40 Friday

England to secure rare 2/2 World Cup start
England have only won their opening two games at the World Cup on three occasions. Gareth Southgate's side are well placed to make it four in Qatar as 8/15 favourites for tonight's match against USA (worst price 4/9).
09:38 Friday
Moore attacking threat for Wales
Kieffer Moore has been brought into the Wales XI to play Iran haven't changed the dynamic of the team's first match against the USA. The Bournemouth man is a long 11/4 to score anytime (worst price 7/4) despite averaging 0.44 goals per 90 minutes across his 29 internationals.
08:51 Friday
Wales to get on the front foot against Iran
Wales are unbeaten in their last six games against teams from outside of Europe, and will expect to be on top from the start as they take on Iran.
England racked up eight corners without reply against the same opponents. Wales are good enough to apply similar pressure, so -1 on the corner handicap looks like a value bet at Evens.
08:40 Friday
Bellingham card in 20/1 Bet Builder
Jude Bellingham has four yellow cards in 15 Bundesliga outings this season (no Dortmund player has more). And to emphasise his combative nature, he has won more duels (245) than any other player in the league. For context, Borussia Mönchengladbach's Kouadio Kone is second with 201.
A card for 19-year-old Bellingham is part of this three-leg 20/1 Bet Builder for England vs USA in World Cup Group B. He is also a best price 9/2 (worst price 9/5) in the individual card market.
08:32 Friday
England to improve USA World Cup record
England have failed to beat the USA in their last two World Cup meetings (one loss, one draw) but are unbeaten in the last five across all competitions - winning four.
Ironically, the loss to USA came in the second group game of England's first ever World Cup in 1950.
