Monday's Best 2026 World Cup Picks & Predictions: Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Saudi Arabia (+700) vs. Uruguay (-220), DRAW (+340) | O/U 2.5 (+110/-135)
This is a pivotal match right out of the gate in Group H. Spain is nearly a lock to advance from the group, leaving one other guaranteed spot up for grabs. The South American nation is a sizable -220 favorite to secure the win on Monday. Kick-off is slated for 6:00 p.m. ET from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL.
I'm taking the under in this match. As I mentioned, the stakes are incredibly high in this opener, as both teams will be looking to snag at least a point. I think this could lead to a slightly more conservative approach on both sides.
The trends also favor the under in this one. Per Flashscore, the under on this line has hit in 18 of Uruguay's last 23 international contests. Saudi Arabia has also only seen both teams score in five of its last 13 games.
Saudi Arabia's offense could ultimately hold this game under. They're just 2-1-5 in their last eight matches, getting shut out in four of those games. Uruguay has held its opposition scoreless in five of its last eight outings. This should be a lower-scoring affair, so let's take the under.
Bet: Under 2.5 Goals (-135)
