Combined odds: 4.64 | ₦1,000 stake returns ₦4,640
Portugal face a debutant DR Congo side they should overcome comfortably, England are strong favourites over Croatia in a Group L opener that shapes the bracket, and Ghana have the individual quality to edge past a limited Panama attack in their midnight WAT kick-off. Three solid legs that stack well tonight.

⚽ Portugal vs DR Congo

Portugal open their Group K campaign against DR Congo — the Leopards making their first-ever World Cup appearance. With Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leão leading a side averaging over three goals per game in recent qualifiers, Portugal should control this match from start to finish. DR Congo are dangerous on the counter with Yoane Wissa, but the quality gap is too wide to ignore. Portugal to win is the safe anchor for any acca today.

⚽ England vs Croatia

England face familiar Group L rivals Croatia at AT&T Stadium, Arlington (9:00 PM WAT). Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka give England the firepower to break down a Croatia side built around the ageing Luka Modric. Croatia are tournament survivors with real experience, but this England squad is the most balanced in years. England to win at 1.65 offers solid value on a match the Three Lions are expected to control.

⚽ Ghana vs Panama

Ghana open their World Cup account against Panama at midnight WAT (BMO Field, Toronto). Despite the absence of Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo leads a squad with enough quality to break down a disciplined but limited Panama side. Panama conceded just four goals across eight CONCACAF qualifiers — they will make it tough — but Ghana’s Premier League and Champions League talent should prove decisive. Back the Black Stars at 2.20.

⚽ Argentina vs Algeria

Four-year defending champions Argentina open their Group J campaign against Algeria in an early-morning kick-off. Lionel Messi leads a squad with the depth to match any team in the tournament. Algeria are a solid African qualifier but face an enormous quality gap against the world champions. Argentina to win is near certainty value as an acca foundation.

⚽ Austria vs Jordan

Austria face Jordan — making their World Cup debut — in an early WAT fixture. Austria’s Bundesliga and Bundesliga-quality players should have too much for Jordan across 90 minutes. Jordan’s historic qualification is a brilliant story but Austria are heavy favourites and should deliver a comfortable win.
