World Cup Props for Saturday
Switzerland vs Qatar Prop Picks
Qatar is no match for the Swiss in this World Cup. After already struggling as hosts, Qatar will have a tough time containing a team that has flair and excellent build-up play when they decide to attack.
This is to say, Switzerland usually adapts to their opponents, which means they will go all out in this debut match, as it will be their best shot at taking all three points. Seven shots is the right amount to take a chance on a plus-money bet.
Morocco vs Brazil Prop Picks
Carlo Ancelotti is not only an all-time great manager, but also used to all kinds of pressures and demands. However, Brazil at a World Cup might be the biggest of them all, so get ready to see them go at it early on, considering this is their toughest rival in the group.
It might not be pretty, might even be due to a penalty kick, but rest assured, Brazil will have a goal before they go back to the dressing room.
Getting an assist right is really tricky, as there aren't many goals in a soccer match. But Raphinha, along with Bruno Guimaraes and Neymar, was the top playmaker for this team throughout the qualifiers, and he's also the top choice for set pieces.
Raphinha led Brazil in corners and free kicks, and in a tightly contested match, headers will become an increasingly important way to score.

Scotland vs Haiti Prop Picks
Scott McTominay is a force of nature when he suits up with Scotland. Not that his Napoli version isn't impressive, but his impact when coming from behind to unleash a powerful header or striking a loose ball near the top of the area is something to behold.
As a midfielder, he led Scotland with six goals in the recent World Cup qualifying phase, and no other teammate had even three. If not scoring, he can also assist since he's essential to their offensive build-up
Turkiye vs Australia Prop Picks
Turkiye was second in their qualifying group, scoring 17 goals in six matches. That included 6-1 and 4-1 thrashings of Bulgaria and Georgia, respectively.
Australia might take offense, but they're not really different, maybe only a bit more careful defending. So, no spanking is needed to cash in, let's just see the Turkish team get ahead in the first 45 minutes.
