He scored twice in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and four times in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. I think he&#8217;ll find the back of the net here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:var(--color-text-primary);font-family:inherit;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.028em;line-height:1.11;margin:0;width:auto\">Breel Embolo Anytime Goal (-105)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Brazil vs. Morocco<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>The group will be tilted heavily in the direction of a winner here, as these two are separated by just one spot in the FIFA rankings. I don\u2019t think this is a great Brazil side. The midfield is old, and despite a central defensive core of Gabriel and Marquinhos, along with Alisson in net, Brazil has conceded in five straight friendlies, all against World Cup teams. While Abde Ezzalzouli is out with a knee injury, Brahim Diaz and Ayoub El Kaabi are more than capable of making Brazil pay. Of course, with Raphinha and Vini Jr., Brazil have plenty of ability to score as well. The reward for winning is huge, so I expect both teams to go for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Haiti vs. Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>If Haiti is to get a result, this is its best chance \u2014 early in the tourney and against someone other than Brazil or Morocco. We know what we\u2019ll get from Haiti: defend, and hope for a counter.\u00a0That should result in Scotland having most of the ball and Haiti\u2019s legitimate chances few and far between. The Scottish defense shouldn\u2019t be under too much stress and be forced into conceding corners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:var(--color-text-primary);font-family:inherit;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.028em;line-height:1.11;margin:0;width:auto\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:var(--color-text-primary);font-family:inherit;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.028em;line-height:1.11;margin:0;width:auto\">Haiti, Under 3.5 Corners (-136)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Australia vs. T\u00fcrkiye<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Look for Kenan Yildiz to be aggressive toward the net against Australia (Getty Images).\u00a0<\/span> <!--&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>Australia can be difficult to break down, so the best strategy might not be to try and pass through it, but to fire as many balls towards the goal as possible. That means Juventus leading scorer Kenan Yildiz should have a big part in doing just that. I thought about looking at the Australia team total Under, as leading goalscorer Kusini Yengi is out, and even a total cards Over 3.5 (remember T\u00fcrkiye during Euro 2024). But I\u2019ll opt for the Yildiz shots prop as my top play here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:var(-color-text-primary);font-family:inherit;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.028em;line-height:1.11;margin:0;width:auto\">Kenan Yildiz, Over 2.5 Shots (+115)<\/p>\n\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY &#8220;Bear Bets&#8221; are real wagers that Chris &#8220;The Bear&#8221; Fallica is actually making.
