World Cup Tips: 3, July
Switzerland vs Algeria
Switzerland Draw No Bet (1.50)
We are taking Switzerland on the Draw No Bet market rather than the straight win, because a tight one-off knockout deserves the insurance of a refunded stake if it ends level. Algeria conceded seven goals across their three group games and lean almost entirely on Riyad Mahrez, while Switzerland topped their group with Granit Xhaka running midfield and no fresh injury concerns. There is a neat subplot too, with Algeria coached by former Switzerland boss Vladimir Petkovic. If you want more risk, Switzerland to win by two is the upgrade.
🗸 Long Shot: Switzerland -1.5 Handicap @ 3.84
🗸 Extra Tip: xxx (odds)
Australia vs Egypt
Under 2.5 Goals (1.45)
The lead here is the totals market: 1xBet hang their main Over/Under line at just 1.5 goals, a strong signal this projects as a cagey, low-scoring affair, so Under 2.5 is the percentage call. Mohamed Salah limped off with a hamstring problem in Egypt's draw with Iran and is a serious doubt, which would strip out their chief creative spark, while Australia backed into the last 32 on grit rather than goals. Both teams have reasons to be cautious in a knockout, reinforcing the Under. A 0-0 deadlock into extra time would not surprise.
🗸 Long Shot: Egypt to win 1-0 (Correct Score) @ 7.00
🗸 Extra Tip: BTTS No @ 1.62
Argentina vs Cape Verde
Argentina -1.5 Handicap (1.63)
With Argentina a prohibitive 1.20 on the moneyline there is no value in the win market, so the Asian Handicap -1.5 is the smarter route into the same outcome. Cape Verde were ultra-defensive in their debut group, drawing all three and conceding just twice, but Argentina top scored Group J and effectively play a home game in Miami where Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul spend their club seasons. Expect Argentina to need patience against a deep block before pulling clear late. The handicap rewards the likely margin rather than the obvious result.
🗸 Long Shot: Messi to score 2+ goals @ 6.50
🗸 Extra Tip: Argentina to Win to Nil @ 1.95
