Saturday’s Best 2026 World Cup Picks & Predictions
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Qatar (+1300) vs. Switzerland (-500) | Draw (+550) | O/U 2.5 (-144/+118)
Qatar hosted the 2022 World Cup but suffered losses in all three Group A matches. It was outscored 7-1, losing 2-0 to Ecuador, 3-1 to Senegal and 2-0 to the Netherlands.
It will be an uphill battle for The Maroons, who are making just their second-ever World Cup appearance. They were the first team eliminated from the 2022 World Cup, thereby becoming the worst-performing host nation.
Switzerland is a tried-and-true European club, and it meets Qatar for the first time ever in a competitive match. The Swiss are making their 13th World Cup appearance, and they’ve advanced to the Round of 16 in each of the past three events. It played to a 1-1 draw with Australia in its final tune-up match, and that came on the heels of a 4-1 victory over Jordan near the end of May.
Granit Xhaka is back, while Manuel Akanji, Zeki Amdouni, Breel Embolo and Remo Freuler are all names to watch. This one shouldn’t be close. The Qataris aren’t likely to score, but the Swiss have enough firepower to win by at least three goals. Let’s go over on the total, but let’s take it easy.
Picks: Switzerland -1.5 (-172), Over 2.5 Goals (-144) & No - Both to Score (-215)
Brazil (-150) vs. Morocco (+450) | Draw (+270) | O/U 2.5 (+102/-130)
Brazil, ranked No. 6 in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, meets No. 8 Morocco in what is perhaps one of the most intriguing matchups of the group stage. The Seleção tuned up with a 3-1 win over Croatia but suffered a 2-1 loss to France. Morocco, a.k.a. The Atlas Lions, eased by Paraguay 2-1, while playing to a 1-1 draw with Ecuador ahead of the festivities.
Morocco is coming off its best-ever finish in a World Cup, finishing fourth in Qatar in 2022, so we’ll see what Mohamed Ouahbi’s squad can do for a follow-up. The bar is set awfully high. Brazil is a five-time champion, but it bowed out in the quarterfinals in Qatar.
These sides have met just once before - in the 1998 World Cup, with Brazil pounding Morocco 3-0 on June 16th, 1998, in Nantes, France, highlighted by goals from legendary countrymen Ronaldo and Rivaldo.
It’s tempting to play the draw for the chance to nearly triple up. Both sides will be careful in this group game, as a loss is not necessarily damaging, but it’s not helpful either. Let’s go with the draw and the under.
Picks: Draw (+270) & Under 2.5 Goals (+102)
Haiti (+490) vs. Scotland (-175) | Draw (+320) | O/U 2.5 (-115/-111)
Scotland ranks No. 43 in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, but it should be in the driver’s seat against Haiti, which ranks 83rd. This is the first-ever meeting between the nations on the pitch.
The Scots dropped a pair of 1-0 losses in tune-up matches to fellow World Cup combatants Japan and Cote d’Ivoire back in March. It returns to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, when the tournament was held in France.
Haiti topped Nicaragua 2-0 in CONCACAF qualifying, punching its ticket to the World Cup for just the second time, and first since 1974. Haiti played to a 1-1 draw against Iceland in its most recent match in a March friendly, while falling 1-0 to Tunisia, also in a friendly.
Scotland figures to be more physical, while Haiti looks to use its agility and speed to its advantage. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who plays for Wolverhampton in England, is a talented midfielder for Haiti. Meanwhile, Scotland’s Scott McTominay plays for Napoli in Serie A, and he was the MVP during the 2024-25 campaign.
Scotland team captain Andy Robertson represents Liverpool in the Premier League. Ultimately, Scotland is much deeper, and it is worth playing the three-way Moneyline. We’ll also side with the under. Let’s go with Scotland’s Correct Score Combinations to win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 for the chance to nearly double our wager.
Picks: Scotland Moneyline (-175), Under 2.5 Goals (-111) & Scotland to Win 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 (+185)
Australia (+420) vs. Türkiye (-145) | Draw (+270) | O/U 2.5 (+100/-128)
Australia ranks 27th in the world, while Türkiye checks in 22nd. This should be a very even matchup between the Socceroos and the Ay-Yildizlar, or the Crescent Stars.
Surprisingly, Türkiye returns to the World Cup stage after a 24-year absence, so it will be hungry and aggressive, looking for a result right out of the gate. Australia heads in with a 5-1 win over Curacao in a FIFA Series tune-up, while edging Cameroon 1-0.
Australia has teen phenom Nestory Irankunda, who plays for Watford in England, as a player who should be front and center at his first World Cup. For Türkiye, Arda Güler of Real Madrid and Kenan Yildiz are ones to watch, while Hakan Çalhanoğlu of Inter Milan in Serie A is another bona fide option.
This could be one of the higher-scoring matchups in the first few days. Let’s take the over, and we’ll roll with Türkiye. From top to bottom, they might be more polished, a little deeper and more talented, especially on the world stage.
Picks: Türkiye Moneyline (-145) & Over 2.5 Goals (-128)
