World Cup Props for Sunday
Saudi Arabia vs Spain Prop Picks
After hitting the crossbar in the first match and missing out on what would have been the winning goal against Cape Verde, Ferran Torres will surely try his hardest again with a better game plan.
Saudi Arabia can definitely give the forward and his team a hard time, but it's unlikely Spain will go silent two games in a row, and Torres should be involved, whether scoring or assisting.
This is a vote of confidence in Spain righting the ship and breaking any deadlock early in this match, while also accounting for a possible surprise goal from Saudi Arabia.
Spain had 23 shots in their first game, with eight on target. A similar effort here is bound to result in a better outcome.
Parlay both picks at FanDuel for a +145 payout.
Iran vs Belgium Prop Picks
After a 2-2 draw with New Zealand, Iran will have a choice to make: try to claw their way out of this tough match with another point that keeps them alive or go for it.
Belgium might end up making that decision for them, as they also tied in their previous match (1-1 vs. Egypt), and they will definitely look for the win. An early advantage could open things up for the second half.
Cape Verde vs Uruguay Prop Picks
Vozinha became an instant sensation after his performance against Spain with seven saves.
The 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper will be hard-pressed to repeat a clean sheet vs. Uruguay, but will certainly be tested, and four saves seem to be within reach for the experienced player.
Egypt vs New Zealand Prop Picks
Egypt recorded seven corner kicks in their 1-1 draw with Belgium. This is a good angle to exploit against an opponent who had only one against Iran.
New Zealand will probably defend in a low block most of the time, and with Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush trying to score from distance and coming into the area from the flanks, six corners should be achievable.
