Tuesday's World Cup Betting Tips:
Kylian Mbappe - Over 4.5 Shots vs Senegal - 5/4 (1pt)
Michael Olise - Anytime Goalscorer vs Senegal - 9/4 (1pt)
Mohamed Amoura - Over 1.5 Shots vs Argentina - 6/4 (0.75pts)
Enzo Fernandez - 1+ Shot on Target vs Algeria - 11/8 (1pt)
Marko Arnautovic - Anytime Goalscorer vs Jordan - 11/10 (0.75pts)
Kylian Mbappe - Over 4.5 Shots vs Senegal
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 5/4 (various).
Kylian Mbappé’s exceptional shot volume for France makes Over 4.5 Shots an attractive angle in their World Cup opener against Senegal.
The forward has attempted five or more shots in eight of his last nine international appearances in which he has played over 45 minutes, showing how consistently France’s attack funnels through him.
His major-tournament numbers offer further encouragement, with Mbappé averaging 5.5 shots across his four group-stage starts at Euro 2024 and the 2022 World Cup.
With the attacking quality around him, Mbappe should rack up the shots as he looks to add more goals to his stellar World Cup record.
Michael Olise - Anytime Goalscorer vs Senegal
Advised stake: 1pt
Best odds: 9/4 (with William Hill, Super Sub recommended)
Michael Olise heads into France’s World Cup opener in outstanding scoring form after netting a hat-trick in their final warm-up match against Northern Ireland. That treble took his record to six goals across his last nine starts for France, demonstrating that he has become much more than simply a creative outlet in this side.
Olise also enjoyed the best scoring season of his club career in 2025/26, finding the net 20 times for Bayern Munich across all competitions. With Senegal likely to devote significant defensive attention to Kylian Mbappé, the space created for Olise on the opposite side makes him an attractive anytime goalscorer selection.

Mohamed Amoura - Over 1.5 Shots vs Argentina
Advised stake: 0.75pts
Best odds: 6/4 (William Hill & bet365)
Mohamed Amoura looks the most likely Algerian player to test Argentina’s defence, having established himself as the focal point of their attack during qualification.
The forward has attempted at least two shots in five of his last six appearances for Algeria, while he also cleared this line in three of his four matches at the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations.
Argentina are likely to control possession, but that could suit Amoura’s pace on the counter and leave him responsible for finishing Algeria’s attacking moves. With only two attempts required and Amoura carrying their clearest goal threat, Over 1.5 Shots is an appealing underdog player prop.
Enzo Fernandez - 1+ Shot on Target vs Algeria
Advised stake: 1pt
Best odds: 11/8 (BetMGM / Virgin Bet)
Enzo Fernández’s recent international shooting form makes him an appealing option to register at least one effort on target against Algeria. The Chelsea midfielder has recorded four shots on target across his last four Argentina appearances, while this selection has landed in five of his last seven international starts in which he has played at least 45 minutes.
His club numbers reinforce that trend, with Fernández registering 22 shots on target for Chelsea this season as his role has evolved to include more forward runs into the penalty area. Argentina should spend extended periods attacking against Algeria, giving Fernández opportunities from the edge of the box and through his well-timed arrivals into advanced positions.
Marko Arnautovic - Anytime Goalscorer vs Jordan
Advised stake: 0.75pts
Best odds: 11/10 (Sky Bet)
Marko Arnautović’s outstanding competitive international record makes him the obvious goalscorer angle for Austria’s opener against Jordan. He has scored 13 times across his last 16 competitive appearances for his country, underlining his enduring importance as their penalty-box focal point.
Austria are 1/3 favourites and just 4/9 to score at least twice, suggesting the market expects them to create a healthy number of chances against the tournament debutants. With Arnautović likely to lead the line and carry much of Austria’s scoring responsibility, backing him to find the net looks another strong anytime goalscorer play.
