World Cup Props for Friday
Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Canada Prop Picks
Bosnia-Herzegovina led their UEFA qualifying group in bookings, and that's part of their identity; they're a physical team. Bosnia completed its journey to earn a berth in this tournament with 28 total cards over 10 matches, including the playoffs.
A World Cup debut match is always nerve-wracking, and when going against a host nation, even more so. Look for Bosnia to get a few yellow cards to cover this line.
Even though Canada is the slight favorite, this matchup is difficult to call, particularly with several key players injured or hurt on both sides, including the home team's best player, Alphonso Davies.
To keep in line with the previous pick, let's take forward Cyle Larin to win two or more fouls here. As mentioned, Bosnia-Herzegovina likes to play rough and committed 177 fouls across their 10 qualifying matches.
Paraguay vs USA Prop Picks
Mauricio Pochettino isn't the most offensively minded coach, but the USMNT should come out and try to impose its will, particularly early.
Paraguay is a tough opponent, but it doesn't boast a fearsome attack, which should give the USMNT some time to cash this pick.
Paraguay led the South American qualifiers with 19.3 tackles per game and had five players among the first seven in tackles per game, so you could take your pick here.
Diego Gomez offers enough value for a solo bet or as a parlay leg at -145. The midfielder was third on his team and fifth overall with 4.0 tackles per game.
You could parlay these picks for a +178 payout at DraftKings.
