Portugal vs DR Congo tip
Bruno Fernandes anytime assist (5/2 with bet365)
Despite being played in a deeper role for half of the season, Manchester United’s chief creator provided a record-breaking 21 assists in the Premier League last season. He can have a similar influence for his national team in North America having provided three in his last five appearances, and the matchup against DR Congo could be a favourable one providing Portugal bring their A-game.
Anthony Eadson
The Manchester United playmaker enjoyed a record-breaking 2025-26 campaign, registering 21 Premier League assists to set a new single-season record. In doing so, Bruno Fernandes moved clear of both Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, who previously shared the record with 20. Furthermore, Fernandes arrives at the World Cup in outstanding form. The Portugal captain consistently creates chances from open play and set pieces, while his understanding with Cristiano Ronaldo makes him one of the tournament’s most dangerous creators. If Portugal are to make a deep run this summer, Fernandes is likely to play a leading role.
5/2 PLACE BETEngland vs Croatia tip
Elliot Anderson to be carded (11/2 with bet365)
Elliot Anderson will be keen to introduce himself on the world stage alongside midfield partner Declan Rice. Although this is undoubtedly an aging Croatia team, the Three Lions certainly won’t have it all their way in the middle of the park with Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic directly opposing.

11/2 PLACE BETGhana vs Panama tip
Ghana to win (7/5 with AK Bets)
Ghana booked their place at this World Cup as convincing winners of CAF Group I, securing eight wins from 10 qualifiers, scoring 23 goals and conceding only six along the way. They’re a cut above Panama, and that should be evident in this matchup between the two.

7/5 PLACE BETUzbekistan vs Colombia tip
Luis Diaz 3+ shots on target (3/1 with Betfred)
The 2024 Copa America semi-finalists rely heavily on the Bayern Munich winger, whose volume and output English fans are no stranger to having plied his trade at Liverpool for three seasons. Colombia are overwhelming favourites in this contest, which should result in plenty of goalmouth action for the likes of Diaz.
Andy Francis
Díaz arrives at this World Cup as one of the most dangerous wide forwards in European football. He registered 85 shots on goal across 32 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern in 2025-26 — an average of 2.66 per game – with 37 hitting the target. His involvement in a shot every 16 minutes on the pitch is an extraordinary rate. Against a deep Uzbekistan back five, Colombia will dominate the ball and create repeated wide situations – the exact conditions that generate Díaz’s best moments. He drove 19 runs into the penalty area per game in the Champions League this season. Uzbekistan will defend deep and surrender territory from the first whistle. At the Azteca with Colombia pushing for an early statement win, Díaz will carry significant volume throughout the 90 minutes – making three or more shots on target a very realistic outcome.
