Best World Cup Player Props Predictions for July 3

Important:

If you intend to follow our World Cup player prop picks, we advise you to wait for the lineups to make sure the players targeted are going to start the match. We provide our tips earlier to give you enough time to prepare, but staying patient and checking the starters is pivotal for player props.

Argentina vs. Cabo Verde: Cabo Verde Keeper 5+ Saves (+130)

Cabo Verde have delivered the biggest surprise at the World Cup by qualifying for the knockouts. The team is yet to taste defeat, so the confidence will be high when they meet champions Argentina today.

The gameplan is also quite obvious: Cabo Verde will defend deep and in numbers, trying to hit on the counter. This should lead to many low quality chances for Argentina, like shots from crosses under pressure and long-range strikes.

As a result, Cabo Verde’s goalkeeper (almost certain Vozinha) will be under fire for most of the game. The odds of him generating 5+ saves feel generous, especially if Argentina don’t score early.

Colombia vs. Ghana: Luis Diaz 2+ Shots on Target (+185)

Luis Diaz has been Colombia’s most dangerous players at the World Cup, delivering 11 shots and 3 on target in his three games so far. The forward is always probing the defenders and looking to find a position for a good shot.

I expect more of the same against Ghana, a team that has relied mostly on defense so far. The Africans surrendered possession in every game so far, defending in large periods even against Panama.

Colombia will certainly have more of the ball in this one, so Diaz should consistently have opportunities to dribble and shoot. I expect at least 3 total shots from him in this one, so grabbing +185 for at Diaz hitting the target twice is one of the best World Cup player props today.
