The final round of World Cup group stage matches kicks off today, and with it comes a new layer of complexity.
Teams that have already qualified may rotate their squads, resting stars for the knockout rounds. Mexico, for example, have already won Group A. What lineup do they put out against Czechia tonight?
That’s the kind of question that can turn a surefire win into a losing bet. Waiting for confirmed lineups before placing your wagers is essential today.
Similarly, Brazil’s goal scorer prices against Haiti are so compressed that the value has been squeezed out entirely. That said, there's still some value out there today.
Read on for my World Cup goal scorer picks and World Cup player props for Wednesday, June 24.
World Cup Goal Scorer Picks Today
Canada vs Switzerland Goal Scorer Picks

+0.5 -135 | 2.5 110o / -135u | +250 |

Canada Anytime Goal Scorer Pick: Jonathan David (+235)
The man of the tournament from a Canadian perspective so far has been Jonathan David.
David scored a hat trick in their historic 6-0 demolition of Qatar on Matchday 2, becoming the first CONCACAF player to score a hat trick at a World Cup since 1930.
Canada are playing on home soil with a roaring crowd behind them, and a win here secures top spot in the group. Switzerland have also been a bit vulnerable defensively, conceding a goal in both of their matches at the tournament so far.
When Canada need a result, they rely on the Juventus striker to score, which is why I’ll gladly take that +235 number for David.
Switzerland Anytime Goal Scorer Pick: Dan Ndoye (+360)
Ndoye has been Switzerland’s most dangerous attacking player at this tournament, but he somehow still hasn’t scored.
He registered six shots against Qatar. Against Bosnia, he had four shots, including two on target, leading all players in shots on goal and most touches in the opposing penalty area.
He also missed a big chance with a spectacular overhead kick that was denied by the keeper.
The Nottingham Forest winger is the single most overdue scorer at this World Cup in terms of raw shot volume. His price has ballooned to +360 precisely because he hasn’t hit the net yet, but the chances keep coming.
Switzerland need a result today and will push forward. Back Ndoye to finally notch the goal his performances have deserved.
Qatar vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Goal Scorer Pick
| Qatar Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+0.5 +140 | 2.5 100o / -125u | +500 |
| Bosnia and Herzegovina Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-0.5 -180 | 2.5 100o / -125u | -175 |
Bosnia and Herzegovina Anytime Goal Scorer Pick: Ermedin Demirovic (+155)
Bosnia needs a win, full stop, and they're getting a Qatar side in total disarray.
Qatar finished their Matchday 2 game against Canada with a 6-0 loss and with just nine men on the pitch after two straight red cards. Both players are now serving suspensions for this match, meaning Qatar will face Bosnia without two starters.
They have looked completely overmatched at this tournament, and it won’t be any different in this match.
Demirovic is Bosnia’s attacking focal point — a clinical Bundesliga striker who has been waiting for this moment. At +155 against a depleted, demoralized Qatar side, this is one of the cleaner value plays on the board today.
Haiti vs Morocco Goal Scorer Pick
| Haiti Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -105 | 2.5 -165o / 135u | +950 |
| Morocco Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 -120 | 2.5 -165o / 135u | -340 |
Morocco Assist Pick: Brahim Díaz (+275)
Brahim Díaz has provided the assist on both of Morocco’s goals in this tournament, making him only the second Moroccan player ever to provide multiple assists in a single World Cup.
He threaded a defense-breaking pass to set up Ismael Saibari’s opener against Brazil. He did it again against Scotland, delivering a perfectly weighted ball over the top in the second minute to set up what became the fastest winning goal in World Cup history.
Morocco are overwhelming favorites against a Haiti side that has been outscored, 4-0, in two matches and has yet to register a clean sheet or a point in World Cup history.
Díaz's goal-scorer price is only +120, which isn't worth it. But +275 for the assist on a player who has created both of Morocco’s goals? That’s where the value lives.
