Monday’s Best FIFA World Cup Picks

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

Italy vs. Argentina

The Italians were knocked out of the 2019 tournament in the quarter-finals by eventual runner-up Netherlands, while Argentina failed to get out of group play. With Sweden already banking three points in their opener, this is a crucial match for both sides if they want to advance to the knockout round.

The Pick: Italy (-150)


Germany vs. Morocco

Germany swept their group four years ago before bowing out in the quarter-finals, while Morocco will be making their first-ever Women’s World Cup appearance. If the German side is going to challenge for their third title, they’ll want to get off to a hot start, and Morocco is the type of opponent they’ll love to see in their opener.

The Pick: Anytime Goalscorer €“ Alexandra Popp (-150)


Brazil vs. Panama

While 37-year-old Marta will be making what could be her final appearance in the Women’s World Cup, it’s Debhina who will make the Brazilian offense go. The 31-year-old tallied five goals in friendly competitions leading up to the tournament and will be key if Brazil is going to advance out of group play. They should have no trouble with Panama.

The Pick: Anytime Goalscorer €“ Debhina (-190)

Colombia vs. South Korea

This match should be one of the more hotly contested of the opening round of group play. Both teams are ranked in the top 25 teams in the world and have some World Cup experience. The two sides are both capable of pulling out a victory here, but the South American side may have a slight edge here.

The Pick: Colombia (+190)
