World Cup Best Bets Today: Germany vs. Curacao

Germany Over 1.5 First-Half Goals (-128)

On paper, this looks like one of the biggest mismatches of the group stage as Germany is -2000 to win.

Germany should control the ball for the vast majority of the match. Julian Nagelsmann's side will likely spend little time defending, and Curaçao should struggle to generate quality chances against one of the strongest squads in the group.

I like the Germans -- who boast a talented and deep attack -- to come out firing and score at least twice in the opening half.

Florian Wirtz Anytime Goalscorer (-135)

Wirtz had an underwhelming club season with Liverpool, but don't let that fool you -- he's a World Class footballer who should spend a lot of time in dangerous areas in a match where Germany will probably dominate possession.

Wirtz totaled four goals and three assists for Germany in the last Nations League, and on a day when Germany are -142 to go over 3.5 goals, I like these -135 odds for him to open his World Cup goal account.

Unlike traditional moneyline betting in American sports, soccer uses three-way odds. You're betting on one of three outcomes: Home Team win, Away Team Win or a Draw.
