One of the most star-studded days of the entire group stage. Saturday into Sunday delivers Brazil at MetLife, Scotland’s World Cup opener, and Turkiye making their return to the tournament stage for the first time in 24 years.
Let’s get into it.
World Cup Goal Scorer Picks for Saturday, June 13
- Dan Ndoye Anytime Goalscorer (+185)
- Brahim Diaz Anytime Goalscorer (+500)
- Scott McTominay Goal or Assist (-100)
- Kenan Yildiz Anytime Goalscorer (+200)
Qatar vs. Switzerland Goalscorer Pick: Dan Ndoye — Anytime Goalscorer (+185)
| Switzerland Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 -174 | 2.5 -176o / 142u | -550 |
| Qatar Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 +124 | 2.5 -176o / 142u | +1300 |
Switzerland opens against the weakest team in their group, and this is a spot to attack early and often. Ndoye is one of the most dynamic wide forwards in this Swiss squad. The Nottingham Forest winger is a constant threat in behind with the athleticism and directness to punish a Qatar defense that will be under siege all afternoon. He is at the peak of his powers and will have room to run all game long. At +190, this is a high-upside play on a player who thrives in exactly this kind of open matchup. Qatar have no answer for his pace.
Brazil vs. Morocco Goalscorer Pick: Brahim Diaz — Anytime Goalscorer (+500)
| Morocco Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -265 | 2.5 118o / -144u | +470 |
| Brazil Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 +200 | 2.5 118o / -144u | -150 |
This is the long-shot value play of the day and there’s a real case for it. Brahim Diaz is Morocco’s most dangerous creative force, a Real Madrid winger who was born in Spain, chose Morocco, and hasn’t looked back since. He won the Golden Boot at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with five goals in five matches and is Morocco’s designated penalty taker, meaning he has a direct route to the scoresheet that bypasses pure open-play chances. Brazil will dominate possession, but Morocco are built to absorb pressure and counter with lethal precision. If anyone is going to shock the Selecao, it goes through Diaz. At +500, a small bet carries serious upside.
Scotland vs Haiti Goal Scorer Pick: Scott McTominay Goal or Assist (-100)
| Scotland Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 +146 | 2.5 -158o / 128u | -190 |
| Haiti Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -210 | 2.5 -158o / 128u | +490 |
He’s Scotland’s best player. Full stop. McTominay has been the heartbeat of the Scottish attack through qualifying and carries the creative and physical burden of making this team go. He is involved in the majority of Scotland’s goals. Whether it’s a thundering header, a late run into the box, or a key pass that unlocks a defense, he’s always making something happen for his national team. Haiti will be overmatched here. This is a perfect spot for McTominay to announce himself on the biggest stage of his career. At +140 to score or assist, there’s real value on the Napoli man.
Turkiye vs Australia Goal Scorer Pick: Kenan Yildiz — Anytime Goalscorer (+200)
| Turkey Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 +200 | 2.5 -100o / -122u | -145 |
| Australia Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -265 | 2.5 -100o / -122u | +420 |
One of the most exciting young players at this entire World Cup. The 21-year-old Juventus star just won Serie A’s Best Under-23 Player award after posting 10 goals and 6 assists this season and scored three crucial goals during Turkiye’s qualifying campaign. Turkiye returns to the World Cup for the first time in 24 years with Yildiz as their talisman, and he will be desperate to make his mark immediately. At +260, you’re getting elite talent at generous odds.
