World Cup June 27: Odds, Picks & Predictions
In Summary (TL;DR)
June 27 is the final day of group-stage play, with six matches that decide the last spots in the Round of 16. The headline game is Colombia vs Portugal, a genuine contender clash, with Argentina chasing top spot in Group J right behind it. This is your hub for the full slate. Below you get a quick betting angle on every game, a table linking each match to its own full preview, and the live World Cup odds screen that compares every book side by side. One thing up front: the books have not posted firm prices for these games yet because they are still days out, so nothing here quotes a number you should trust. Treat this page as the plan for the day, then take the current price on the odds screen once the lines open. On a six-game card, the bettors who win are the ones who read each line as a probability and take the best available number on every bet.
The June 27 Slate At A Glance
These are the closing group-stage games, so qualification math is on the line and motivation runs high. One of them is a true contender clash; the rest are favorite-versus-underdog spots where the goal markets tend to hold more value than a short moneyline. Here is the full board, with a link to each match's full breakdown.
New to soccer prices? Soccer uses a three-way moneyline that includes the draw, so a favorite's win price looks longer than it would in a two-way sport. Our World Cup betting terms guide defines every market, and the World Cup odds guide walks the full menu, so the angles below can stay tight.
Panama Vs England (Group L, 5:00 PM ET)
England project as one of the day's clearest favorites on squad depth and attacking quality, but a final group game compresses that edge, and Panama have the discipline to sit deep and make the margin tight. Laying a heavy favorite straight up rarely prices well, so the England goal handicap, the match total, and Panama's draw-or-win double chance are the markets to weigh first. Watch the World Cup odds screen for the opening number, and the full Panama vs England preview for the deeper read.
Croatia Vs Ghana (Group L, 5:00 PM ET)
Croatia carry the more proven tournament pedigree and should open as a moderate favorite, but Ghana's pace on the counter keeps this from being a one-way game. When the favorite is solid rather than overwhelming, the playable value usually lives in the total or the draw-no-bet line rather than a moneyline that asks you to lay a price the matchup may not justify. Compare the markets on the odds screen when they post, and the Croatia vs Ghana preview breaks down where the number is likely to be soft.
Colombia Vs Portugal (Group K, 7:30 PM ET)
The marquee game of the day. Portugal's attacking firepower meets a Colombia side that defends in numbers and breaks fast, a profile that often produces a tight, low-margin contest between two sides that both expect to advance. In that kind of spot a chalky moneyline is frequently the worst way to play it, so the total, the draw, and draw-no-bet are the smarter entry points. Take the best price on the World Cup odds screen, and the Colombia vs Portugal preview has the deeper breakdown.
DR Congo Vs Uzbekistan (Group K, 7:30 PM ET)
This is the slate's most evenly matched pairing of lower-profile sides, and with a Round of 16 place still in reach, both have reason to play it tight. That points toward a cagey, lower-scoring game, which makes the draw a live outcome and the Under and "both teams to score: no" worth a look. Read each price against its true probability before committing, and the DR Congo vs Uzbekistan preview covers the matchup in full once lines open on the odds screen.
Algeria Vs Austria (Group J, 10:00 PM ET)
Two well-organized, defense-first sides meet with group qualification still in the balance, which sets up as a cagey, low-event match. The Under, a low team total, and the draw are the markets that tend to hold value when neither side wants to overextend. As always, the number decides it, not the names, so check the odds screen for the live price and the Algeria vs Austria preview for the full angle.
Jordan Vs Argentina (Group J, 10:00 PM ET)
Argentina bring one of the most talented rosters in the field against a determined Jordan underdog, so the moneyline will be short and the value should sit elsewhere. An Argentina goal handicap or the team-total Over usually offers a fairer price than laying a heavy favorite outright. See how the line opens on the World Cup odds screen, and the Jordan vs Argentina preview has the rest.

How To Bet The June 27 World Cup Card
Six games in a day is where discipline quietly makes or loses money. Three habits do most of the work.
Shop every line. The same match trades at different prices across books, and on near even-money soccer favorites the spread between the best and worst number is real value over a full slate. Taking a side at -135 instead of -145 looks trivial on one bet, but across six games and a season it is the margin between profit and loss. Line shopping on the World Cup odds screen lines up every book so you always take the sharpest available price.
Price the probability, not the badge. A big name at a short price is not automatically a bet. De-vigging a line strips out the book's margin and shows the true implied probability, which is how you tell whether a -300 favorite is fair or whether the goal market beside it is the better number. Portfolio EV runs that math on every line so you can separate a genuine edge from a popular team that is simply priced up.
Look past the moneyline in lopsided games. When a heavy favorite meets an overmatched side, the win line often risks far more than it can return. In those spots the value tends to live in the goal handicap, the team total, or the match Over, where the question becomes by how much rather than simply who wins. Each preview above points to the markets worth a closer look for that specific game.
The one-line plan for June 27: read each line as a probability, take the best price across books, and pass on the spots the market has already priced correctly.
