The Round of 32 ends today, with the final three-game slate of the World Cup.

The matchday begins with Australia vs. Egypt at 2:00 p.m. ET in Dallas. Then, Argentina will face Cape Verde at 6:00 p.m. ET in Miami before the slate concludes with Colombia vs. Ghana at 9:30 p.m. ET in Kansas City.

Let's get into our World Cup prop picks for the Round of 32 on Friday, July 3.


Round of 32 World Cup Prop Picks

Australia vs Egypt Prop Picks

Egypt 13+ Shots (+150)

Egypt had 14 shots against Belgium, 19 vs. New Zealand, and 14 against Iran. Not a ton of those were on target, but we're going with volume here.

This Round of 32 has seen its fair share of late goals punishing teams trying to protect the lead or hoping for extra time to get a second wind.

So, expect Egypt to stay aggressive against an Australian side that defends well, but will have to spread out to attack if they are behind in the second half.

Argentina vs Cape Verde Prop Picks

Lionel Messi 3+ Shots on Goal (+120)

Lionel Messi had four shots on goal against Algeria and Austria, both of the matches he started. In just 30 minutes vs. Jordan, he got another one.

Cape Verde's approach might be similar to the one against Spain, but Messi is patient and accurate enough to find his way to goal and challenge Vozinha.

You can also bet on Messi's goals props, but they're offering less value now — unless you go for more than one — or try your luck with an anytime assist.

Argentina To Score in Both Halves (-130)

Argentina covered this prop in each of its three group matches, scoring in both halves against Algeria, Austria and Jordan.

Cape Verde might hang in there, but Argentina has been very effective in the first half, and that will be the key to hitting this one.

You can parlay these picks for a +208 payout at DraftKings.


Colombia vs Ghana Prop Picks

Colombia To Win Without Conceding Goals (+110)

Ghana only managed to score two goals in the group stage as their identity under manager Carlos Queiroz boasts a defense-first approach. They will likely resort to that form of resistance again in their own half, particularly after watching Colombia's performance against Portugal.

The question is: how long will it take the South Americans to break that wall? Colombia also defends well, so whatever lead they get should be enough.

Luis Diaz Anytime Goalscorer (+150)
DraftKings Logo

The Bayern Munich winger is Colombia's standout performer and has already left his mark on this tournament by scoring the much-needed go-ahead goal against Uzbekistan in their second match.

Let's back him to find an opening and score here as well (including extra time) at a great value.

You can parlay these props (+365) at DraftKings.
