The 2022 FIFA World Cup continues! Today comes yet another batch of WorldCup22 betting tips, recommendations, and predictions!
Tips
Tunisia
The Eagles of Carthage need not just the three points, but also a win that raises their goal difference sufficiently to oust Australia and Denmark, thus they must take strategic chances if they hope to advance.

There should be more room for the high-powered French offensive to work as Tunisia commits more men to the attack. The Eagles of Carthage dominated possession but lost a heartbreaking 1-0 to Australia despite playing in a 3-4-2-1 configuration.
In light of the need for a more daring performance, Jalel Kadri must decide whether to make changes to his starting lineup. You can bank on Tunisia taking it slow at the outset in an effort to establish themselves before going on the offensive.
France
It’s possible that Deschamps will bench certain starters, despite the fact that only Jules Kounde has been cautioned. In light of this, betting on France players as a prop is risky, but the reigning champs should still put on a good display.
Starting Mbappe, Giroud, and Griezmann ought to be excessive for a Tunisia team that only conceded 9 shots on goal to a weak Australia offense in their 1-0 loss. There is a lot at stake for France’s depth players like Marcus Thuram, Kingsley Coman, and Randal Kolo Muani to impress in case they get shuffled.
The game should be quite open, so it will be interesting to see if France has a chance to score more than one or two goals. Given that a focus on defense is unlikely to be successful against such a powerful French squad, Tunisia will need to adjust their strategy for the final game in the group stage.
Australia
If Australia wins against Denmark, they will advance to the 16-team knockout stage. If they play to a draw, it’s likely that they’ll qualify, barring a miraculous upset by Tunisia over France (which is highly unlikely). Denmark would advance with a win if it played France, but only if the French team lost.
As a result of their amateurish performance, Australia lost their opening game 4-1 to France. Then they won 1-0 against Tunisia, putting them in striking distance of the playoffs.
Mitchell Duke, who scored the game-winning goal against Tunisia, and Riley McGree will once again start up top. Aaron Mooy will be in charge of the midfield.
Denmark
After their incredible run to the semifinals of last year’s Euro, Denmark was heavily favored to do well here. So far, though, it hasn’t worked out that way for them at this location. They played Tunisia to a scoreless draw in the opening round despite being the superior team and then ended up losing to France by a score of 2-1.
The truth is that the Danish team is far stronger. A unified front allows them to be difficult to dismantle and effective in spite of their failure to achieve their goals. Only one goal has been scored in 2 games, and it was scored by a defender. More work is required from the group’s leaders up front.
Denmark has too much talent to lose, but Australia will be difficult to beat and will play defensively knowing that a tie will likely be enough to advance.
Poland
It required Robert Lewandowski 5 games to score his first World Cup goal, but his goal in the 82nd minute against Saudi Arabia ensured a win for Poland and sent them to the top of their group with 4 points. This followed his first-half assist on Poland’s game-winning goal.
Poland have been reliable, but for long portions of the game, Saudi Arabia were superior. Opta found that, despite having the second-highest xG in the competition, the Saudis failed to score despite having the second-most opportunities to do so.
Now they have to play an Argentina team that is more well-equipped and has more dangerous goal-scorers, not to mention Messi. He has had four shots on goal in six attempts, and he hasn’t missed any major opportunities.
Argentina
After Lionel Messi converted a penalty 10 minutes into Argentina’s World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia, the Argentines appeared to be cruising their way to an easy victory. They are even the team heavily favored with better World Cup betting odds 2022 than their opposing side.
However, they let several opportunities slip through their fingers, had another taken away by a questionable VAR offside call, and then gave up two goals in quick succession in the second half. They had an estimated advantage of 2.26 to 0.15, but now they were playing from behind.
Back on track with a 2-0 victory over Mexico, but it wasn’t easy. The Mexican midfield tried its utmost to confuse the game, and Argentina managed only five shots on goal as a result. Messi has now scored in six consecutive international matches, and this World Cup represents Argentina’s last best chance for him to join Diego Maradona on the team’s list of World Cup champions.
Saudi Arabia
We know what Saudi Arabia is capable of after they scored two goals in a row against Argentina in the tournament’s opening game. They scored despite seemingly impossible chances, as their final xG of 0.15 attests to their clinical finishing near the goal. This team right here is indeed a surprising side to watch on our World Cup 2022 free livestream.
The reversal occurred in the following game against Poland. Even though they produced an xG of 1.73, the Saudis gained nothing from it. Poland’s opponents in their last 5 matches combined for an xG total higher than that. They also held nearly 75% of the ball and more than doubled Poland’s passes in the offensive half.
Mexico
The lack of a goal for Mexico at this World Cup is not due to a lack of scoring opportunities. At times, they appeared to be toothless against Argentina, although this was more of a function of their environment than anything else. The Polish were overpowered in control but also had several chances inside the box that they failed to capitalize on.
The likes of Edson Alvarez of Ajax and Hirving Lozano of Napoli suggest that they will score at least once, if not more than once. I think Lozano offers a lot of potential moving forward. Before leaving for Qatar, the 27-year-old winger had scored or assisted on goals in two of his last three games for his team.
Predictions
It’s easy to assume that the odds favor France to complete the group stage on a positive note against Tunisia if they bring their shooting boots. The reigning world champions will likely generate scoring opportunities regardless of who actually starts front for France. Les Bleus might easily score twice or three times on Wednesday, solidifying their position as title contenders.
Many games at this World Cup have ended in a scoreless stalemate at halftime, and I think this one will be no different. Since Denmark has failed to score in the first half of either of their 2 matches, betting on a halftime tie followed by a Danish victory would not be a bad idea. Australia will try to keep Denmark at bay in the second half so that they can advance, but Denmark will ultimately win.
If Argentina wants to advance to the next round, they must win their match against Poland. If they lose, they’re out of the tournament; if they draw, tiebreakers are used, unless Saudi Arabia wins and both teams are eliminated. Given their superior talent and the near-absolute urgency with which they must win, Argentina are heavy favorites.
Last but not least, in the matchup between Saudi Arabia and Mexico, the Saudis are heavily favored. If you bet on them, you’re picking the club with the stronger offensive potential. They fell against Poland by a score of 2-0, but they were the better team for much of the game. They should have gotten more than a 0-0 draw and should have been awarded at least one point for their effort.And that right there concludes our predictions and picks from WorldCup22.
