World Cup 2026: Best Bets, Odds and Best Combo | June 29 (Day 19)

World Cup Tips: 29 June, 2026
Today's Matches
The Round of 32 reaches full speed on Day 19 with a pair of ties that pit pedigree against organisation. Brazil open the slate against a Japan side that has gone unbeaten in its last ten but arrives without the injured Takefusa Mitoma, before Germany close the night against a Paraguay outfit who welcome back Miguel Almiron from suspension. Knockout football changes the calculus: there is no second leg and no points to manage, just win or fly home, and that tends to sharpen favourites and tighten underdogs.
Rather than stack two short match-winners, we have split the angles, taking the straight win where the quality gap is clearest and the handicap where a favourite should win comfortably. The two cleanest reads combine into a Best Combo priced at 3.75 with 1xBet, and every price below is a live 1xBet quote.
Top Picks for World Cup Day 19 | June 29
Brazil vs Japan
Brazil to Win (1X2) (1.75)
We are taking the straight match-winner rather than the handicap here, because Japan are too well-drilled defensively to assume a two-goal margin but lack the firepower to live with Brazil over 90 minutes. Japan have lost the creativity of Takefusa Mitoma, ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Brazil still field Vinicius Junior and Cunha despite missing Estevao, Rodrygo and Militao. Carlo Ancelotti's side won five of their last six and topped Group C with a 3-0 win over Scotland, so the class edge is real even against a compact opponent. For a little more security the handicap can be left alone and the win backed outright.
🗸 Long Shot: Brazil to win 2-0 @ 7.00
🗸 Extra Tip: Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.29
Germany vs Paraguay
Germany -1.5 Handicap (Asian Handicap) (2.14)
With Germany trading at a skinny 1.42 to win, the Asian Handicap is the value route: a two-goal cushion at 2.14 beats the short match-winner. Paraguay can call upon Miguel Almiron after his one-game suspension, the creative hub of their attack, though he might not make much of an impact against a German side that will dominate possession. Germany must cope without Nico Schlotterbeck, who is out of the tournament with an ankle injury, but Nathaniel Brown is fit and the front line carries far more threat than a blunted Paraguay can answer. A controlled 2-0 or 3-1 is the most likely script in Boston.
🗸 Long Shot: Germany to win 3-0 @ 9.00
🗸 Extra Tip: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.79
