Best World Cup Player Props Predictions for June 12

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.

USA vs. Paraguay: Andres Cubas to Be Shown Yellow or Red Card (+210)

We saw 6 yellow cards and one red when the USA and Paraguay last met, and that was in a friendly game! Just imagine what could happen in a World Cup match. The South American side will be eager to deny the host the winning start they will be hoping for at any cost.

Overall, I expect Paraguay to defend aggressively, often going too far and committing fouls. Any player from Paraguay’s midfield is a potential target for a booking, but I really like the odds for Andres Cubas.

He’s a very aggressive player who often gets carded for either tactical or violent tackles. Cubas is already on 5 yellow cards in 11 MLS games this season after accumulating 10 last year, which was good enough for 6th overall in the league.

His record with Paraguay is not much different, with Cubas getting booked 4 times in 12 games on the road to the World Cup.

In a game of such magnitude, his instincts to go hard and intimidate the opposition should kick in from the first minute. Honestly, I expected the odds for Cubas to get booked to be somewhere in the +100 to +150 range, so getting +210 is too good to ignore.

Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina: Edin Dzeko to Score or Assist (+200)

Edin Dzeko might be one of the most underrated strikers of his generation, but he has another chance to showcase how good he really is. The veteran striker just helped Schalke 04 return to the Bundesliga and Bosnia and Herzegovina to qualify for the World Cup.

Obviously, age is not a problem for the 40-year-old Dzeko! The reasons he’s still going strong at this age are his intelligence and character. Dzeko’s positioning has always been excellent, and he knows how to deliver chances for his teammates.

Furthermore, the striker is an excellent finisher with both feet and a huge aerial threat. That’s how you score 73 goals for your country!

While Dzeko has a lost a step or two nowadays, he is still very dangerous and the main main in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s attack. If the team scores, there’s a good chance he will be involved. That’s why getting +200 for Dzeko to score or assist today is one of the best player props.
