Brazil vs Norway and Mexico vs England headline Round of 16 Sunday. Our four-leg acca stacks the day’s strongest markets for a big potential return.
Two Round of 16 ties, both dripping with betting value — our World Cup 2026 accumulator tips for July 5 build around Brazil vs Norway at the New York/New Jersey Stadium (21:00 WAT) and the late-night blockbuster of Mexico vs England at the Azteca (01:00 WAT, July 6). Haaland’s scoring streak, Mexico’s unbeaten defensive record and England’s knockout pedigree all give us angles to work with.
We have picked four legs across the two games. As always: this is entertainment, not a wage. Stake what you can afford to lose, and never chase a losing acca with a bigger one tomorrow.
Pick: Brazil to Qualify | Odds: 1.40 (SportyBet)
Brazil have not lost a game at this World Cup, easing past Japan 2-1 in the Round of 32 with Alisson barely troubled. Norway are dangerous — Erling Haaland has been unplayable — but Brazil’s collective quality across the pitch, not just up front, gives them the edge over 90 minutes or extra time.
Taking the qualification market rather than the 90-minute win at 1.85 covers the scenario where Haaland drags Norway to extra time or penalties. Brazil’s squad depth means that even a stretched game favours the Seleção eventually.
Pick: Over 2.5 Goals | Odds: 1.90 (Bet9ja)
Mexico have not conceded all tournament, but they have also had to work for their clean sheets against sides that sat off them. England will not sit off — Harry Kane’s side pressed high against Congo DR and scored twice, and they will look to impose the same approach at altitude.
The occasion itself argues for goals: a knockout tie at a sold-out Azteca, both sides needing a result, and neither wanting to be the team that parks the bus and gets picked off late. We fancy goals at both ends pushing this over the line.
Pick: Haaland Anytime Scorer | Odds: 1.75 (BetKing)
The value leg. Haaland has scored five goals in three games at his first World Cup, and Brazil’s high defensive line — excellent going forward but occasionally there for the taking in behind — is exactly the kind of setup he has punished all tournament. Even in defeat, expect him to get his goal.
Brazil’s centre-backs are comfortable in possession but have been caught upfield before. Norway will build every attack around getting Haaland in behind that line, and on current form, backing him to find the net looks strong value at 1.75.
Pick: Both Teams to Score | Odds: 1.65 (Bet9ja)
Mexico’s clean-sheet run is built on discipline, not on facing weak attacks — England carry more individual quality in the final third than anyone El Tri have faced so far. At the same time, Mexico’s own attack has found joy against organised defences all tournament, and England’s high line has been exposed in patches.
This stacks naturally with the Over 2.5 Goals leg above: a knockout game at altitude, in front of a raucous home crowd, between two teams that both need to score to win. The form suggests goals at both ends.
Here is the full slip:
