Best World Cup Player Props Predictions for July 2

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.

Spain vs. Austria: Yamal to Score or Assist & Spain 4+ Corners (-105)

Spain have been very professional in the World Cup so far, winning their group comfortably without getting out of second gear. Part of the reason is that some players were carrying injuries and fatigue, including star winger Lamine Yamal.

The wonderkid is back to full fitness now, so I expect him to produce in the knockouts. Yamal should be able to find some joy against Austria, as the team’s defense has allowed 6 goals in 3 games so far in the tournament.

The Austrians are vulnerable at the back, which should open the door to Spain. The European champions will likely dominate possession and slowly suffocate Austria. Their style should create opportunities for Yamal to dribble one-on-one, so I like his chances to deliver a goal contribution.

Since the odds for that are only -250, I combined it with Spain to have 4+ corners to boost that number to almost plus odds. The team had at least 6 corners in each World Cup game so far, so they should be able to clear that line with ease.

Switzerland vs. Algeria: Breel Embolo to Score or Assist (+100)

Breel Embolo has scored or assist in each World Cup game so far. The striker has been heavily involved in almost everything dangerous created by Switzerland, so he will full of confidence and ready for Algeria.

The North African side’s defense can be shaky, as we saw in the group stage. Even if we exclude the 3-0 defeat against Argentina because of the quality of the opposition, the other two games were far from impressive.

Algeria dominated and won against Jordan, but still allowed several chances and a goal. It was even worse against Austria where the team conceded three goals.

The defense is vulnerable, so Switzerland should be able to create opportunities. Given Embolo’s contributions so far, getting even odds for him to once again score or assist is one of the best World Cup player props today.
