Sometimes, the simplest, most obvious bet is the best bet. Don\u2019t overthink it. I took this strategy with Breel Embolo and Switzerland, and I\u2019ll do the same here with Austria\u2019s best goalscorer.<\/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\">Marko Arnautovic At Least 1 Goal+Assist (-135)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Portugal vs. DR Congo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>While I have concerns about how many goals Portugal will score, I do think it will eventually find the net. It has a fantastic midfield which should dominate the game, meaning scoring opportunities will be numerous for it. And even more importantly, I don&#8217;t think there will be very many opportunities for Congo, which I find it hard to imagine will score.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>England vs. Croatia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>A grizzled, veteran-laden Croatia is back to make England\u2019s life miserable here. England\u2019s Euro 2024 matches were bogs, and I can&#8217;t imagine the presence of Thomas Tuchel will change that much. Head to halftime even and Harry Kane to the spot in the second half looks like a likely recipe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Ghana vs. Panama<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>A goal or assist from Antoine Semenyo could prove vital for Ghana (Getty Images).<\/span> <!--&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>I have no idea what to expect here. Panama isn't a great side at all, but no Thomas Partey for Ghana is a big deal. I\u2019ve got to serve up a bet for every group stage match, so let's just go with \"best player has a goal contribution\".<\/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\">Antoine Semenyo At Least 1 Goal+Assist (+150)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14><strong>Uzbekistan vs. Colombia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-a2155f14>This could get out of hand in a hurry in Mexico City.
