The Round of 16 concludes on Tuesday, and we have two great World Cup matches to bet.
After a scare against Cape Verde, Argentina faces another challenge — vs Egypt at 12:00 p.m. ET in Atlanta.
Let's get into our World Cup prop picks for this Round of 16 match on Tuesday, July 7.
Round of 16 World Cup Prop Picks
Argentina vs Egypt Prop Picks
One of the many World Cup records Lionel Messi has established is consecutive matches with a goal, and that mark could still be improved, as he has scored in his past eight contests, dating back to the 2022 Round of 16.
He's also this tournament's top scorer with seven goals, tied with Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
So, we must keep backing him, with the added benefit of including extra time or his substitute scoring in case he has to leave.
Messi has also been the main contributor in this category, with as many as six shots on target out of the 10 Argentina had against Cape Verde in the Round of 32.
Egypt have been timing their advances throughout this World Cup, dominating possession at times but also comfortable defending through much longer periods. Argentina does not take many shots, but most attempts are usually on goal, so they would rather have the ball for quite some time and be precise when they need to be.
