France scored 3+ in EVERY match. Mbappe has 6 goals. Paraguay eliminated Germany on pens but France in open play is another level.

Match 5: Portugal vs Spain (July 6)

AH Pick: Spain -0.25 @1.92 ★★★★ | O/U Pick: Under 2.5 @1.80 ★★★

Iberian derby. Spain's pressing superiority + Yamal's creativity edge it. Under 2.5 standard for derbies.

Home advantage in Seattle. Medium confidence — trap game potential.

Messi 19 WC goals (all-time record), playing in his home city. Egypt's fairy tale ends here.
