Combined odds: 6.70 | ₦1,000 stake returns ₦6,700
All four teams need points today after drawing their Group Stage openers. Spain are heavy favourites to respond with Yamal and Nico Williams expected to start, Belgium must win to stay on track, Uruguay face a Cape Verde side they should overpower, and Egypt’s Salah is dangerous enough to beat New Zealand.

⚽ Spain vs Saudi Arabia (18:00 WAT)

Spain were held 0-0 by Cape Verde in their opener but expect a completely different performance today with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams in the starting XI. Saudi Arabia drew 1-1 with Uruguay but face a step up in quality here. Spain dominate all statistical categories and have beaten Saudi Arabia in all three previous World Cup meetings.

⚽ Belgium vs Iran (21:00 WAT)

Belgium lost Jeremy Doku to illness but have more than enough quality to beat an Iran side that drew 2-2 with New Zealand. Kevin De Bruyne orchestrating with Trossard and Lukebakio providing width should be too much for Iran’s organised but limited defensive block. Belgium need the three points and the form suggests they get them.

⚽ Uruguay vs Cape Verde (00:00 WAT, June 22)

Cape Verde impressed by holding Spain to 0-0 but Uruguay represent a serious step up. Darwin Núñez and co need to respond after drawing with Saudi Arabia, and the South Americans have the physical intensity to wear down a Cape Verde side relying heavily on defensive structure. Under 2.5 Goals at 1.70 is the alternative if you want to side with Uruguay’s historically tight matches.

⚽ New Zealand vs Egypt (03:00 WAT, June 22)

Mohamed Salah is in his final World Cup and the Pharaohs need three points to stay in knockout contention. Egypt drew 1-1 with Belgium — a highly creditable result — and now face a New Zealand side that conceded twice against Iran. Salah in space against this defence looks genuinely dangerous.
