World Cup Best Bets Today: Spain vs Cape Verde

Spain Over 3.5 Goals (+132)

There are going to be some pretty large mismatches in group play. This is one of them, and I think Spain run riot.

The gap in quality between these squads is significant. Spain has gone more than 30 matches without defeat and consistently dominates possession, chance creation, and shot volume against lesser opponents. Spain came into this tourney as the World Cup favorite for good reason -- they have as much talent as any team and consistently produce a relentless free-flowing style.

Cape Verde is well organized defensively, but asking them to contain Spain's midfield and attacking depth for 90 minutes is a huge challenge.

In the last World Cup, Spain throttled Costa Rica 7-0. I'm not expecting it to get that bad, but I think we'll see a lopsided score with Spain keeping their foot on the gas.

Pedri Anytime Goalscorer (+370)

Even with star wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams not expected to start, Spain are capable of making this a very lopsided scoreline.

With Spain likely to dominate possession, Pedri may have more chances to get forward than he usually does, which makes these +370 odds enticing.

Assuming Pedri starts, him to score a goal is my favorite player prop in this match.
