Summary
Argentina’s team total over 2.5 goals at -115 and an Australia-Egypt draw at +190 are analyst David’s top World Cup 2026 Round of 16 bets.
Argentina enters as a -650 favorite over Cape Verde, with Lionel Messi already on six goals and multiple teammates carrying near-even scoring odds, while Cape Verde drew all three group matches and produced little attack.
Australia-Egypt is framed as the round’s most even matchup: Australia went 1-1-1 in the group stage, while Egypt drew Belgium and Iran and beat New Zealand 3-1.
David also sees value elsewhere, leaning to a Colombia-Ghana draw after Colombia’s line moved from -125 to -210, though he says Ghana +1.5 is the stronger spread play.
