Serbia to Hold Cameroon Quiet
For a third straight day, we are fading both teams to score with odds of -115 in Cameroon-Serbia in Group G. Through 28 matches to date, the both teams to score bet is hitting under 40% of the time. Also, this play hit in each of the Cameroon and Serbia Matchday 1 matches, respective losses to Switzerland and Brazil. For Cameroon, fading both teams to score has hit in eight of its past 10 across all competitions, which is incredible conversion.
That play makes sense for this particular match, as well. Cameroon drastically underperforms on the offensive end, with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Karl Toko Ekambi. Over its past 10 matches, it has been expected to score 1.5 goals per game; in reality, it has scored a measly 0.8.
Serbia had the disadvantage of playing Brazil first. It was not able to create as easily as it was in prior games and was held silent. Serbia will desperately want a win in this match and should play with more attacking aggression. This match should go in favor of Serbia, but the no on both teams to score is still the higher-value betting route.
Final Cameroon-Serbia Pick: No on both teams to score (-115, DraftKings)

Brazil to Poke Holes in Swiss
The World Cup bet features Brazil to defeat Switzerland in Group G and score two or more goals. This is a feat Brazil has accomplished in 87.5% of its past eight contests. These teams tied at Russia 2018, and it feels harsh to not expect Brazil to qualify Monday.
Even without Neymar, its attacking plethora is inevitable in front of goal. Richarlison scoring a brace against Serbia was the perfect example of how deep the team really goes. The wingers provide offense too, with Raphinha and Vinicius Jr. tallying expected goal marks of 0.7 and 0.3.
The Switzerland defense featuring Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi and Yann Sommer is solid but not unbreakable. In its past 10 matches, it has conceded in eight, averaging 1.4 goals conceded per contest. Brazil just seems a hair’s length above them at the moment, and this pick, even at a price of -130, is solid value.
Final Brazil-Switzerland Pick: Brazil to win and over 1.5 goals (-130, DraftKings)
World Cup Odds: Portugal-Uruguay Odds
| Portugal Moneyline | +100 |
| Uruguay Moneyline | +320 |
| Draw Moneyline | +230 |
| Over/Under 2.5 Total Goals | Over: +125, Under: -155 |
| Location | Lusail Stadium, Lusail, Qatar |

Portugal Has Miserable Record vs. South America
The last World Cup bet is in favor of the Uruguay draw no bet against Portugal in Group H with odds of +190. Ride with the underdogs here, for good reason. Portugal has one win in nine matches across all competitions against a South American opponent. Furthermore, do not forget that Uruguay knocked Portugal out of the 2018 World Cup in the Round of 16, thanks to an Edinson Cavani brace.
The Uruguay attack was not able to get going against South Korea, but it is only a matter of time until Darwin Nunez and Luis Suarez start cooking. In the six games building up to the World Cup, the Sky Blues were averaging 2.0 goals per match, making their Matchday 1 draw look like quite the anomaly. They now face the potent Portugal offense, but an unsteady defense. Ruben Dias and company struggled to keep up with Ghana, which makes Uruguay worth the risk here at +190.
Final Portugal-Uruguay Pick: Uruguay draw no bet (+190, DraftKings)
