Best World Cup Player Props Predictions for July 5

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.

Brazil vs. Norway: Erling Haaland Anytime Scorer (+145)

I’m a simple man: when I see plus odds on Erling Haaland to score, I just can’t help it. The Norwegian star has already delivered five goals in only three World Cup games. Haaland has been his usual self, so I expect more of the same against Brazil.

Norway is a very dangerous team with multiple creative players, making it very hard for the opposition to only focus on Haaland. If you dedicate too much resources to him, the likes of Odegaard, Sorloth, and Musa will hurt you.

That’s probably the reason why Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti said he didn’t have a special plan for Haaland. Brazil’s best chance in this game is to hit hard on the other end and outscore Norway.

The South American country’s defense has been abysmal for a while, so don’t expect clean sheets. Brazil have failed to get one in 7 out of 9 games in 2026, with the exceptions teams like Scotland and Haiti.

Norway are on a completely different level, so Haaland should have chances to score and backing him to do it at +145 is one of the best World Cup player props today.

Mexico vs. England: Harry Kane to Score Anytime (+175)

My player props today probably seem boring, backing Haaland and Kane to score. However, the odds make these wagers mandatory. The English skipper just scored a fantastic brace to help his team beat a stubborn DR Congo side.

Kane is the second best finisher and arguably the best striker in the world right now. He already has five goals in this World Cup, bringing his total for club and country this season to 72. That’s prime Messi level of production, so you can certainly say Kane is in the best form of his life.

He can score in any way imaginable as well and is England’s designated penalty taker. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time you could get +175 for Kane to score  against anyone. The price is just too high to ignore, so I’m going for it.
