World Cup Player Props: Analysis for Wednesday and Thursday

The round of 32 has already provided drama aplenty. Germany and the Netherlands fell, Brazil needed a late goal to see off Japan, and co-hosts Canada scored late on to get past South Africa.

What do Wednesday and Thursday’s matches have in store? Well, we start off with Thomas Tuchel’s England taking on DR Congo, before an underwhelming Belgium face Senegal. The United States are in action on Wednesday night ahead of Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland playing on Thursday.

Here are our top picks for Wednesday and Thursday’s World Cup player prop markets.

Jude Bellingham to Score or Assist (+120)

Jude Bellingham has three goal involvements in this World Cup. His second half performance against Croatia kickstarted England’s campaign, and he was the driving force as the Three Lions won 2-0 over Panama.

A goal and assist on matchday three have set Bellingham up for another big time knockout performance. The Real Madrid star scored a pair of key goals in England’s Euros run in 2024 and looks poised for another match-winning performance with England facing DR Congo on Wednesday.

Ismaïla Sarr to Have 3+ Shots (+140)

Ismaïla Sarr has taken 12 shots in three World Cup matches. The Crystal Palace forward has hit this wager in each of those matches, with a brace against Norway and a pair of goal involvements in the 5-0 hammering of Iraq.

Belgium are vulnerable. Senegal will know they can cause the Red Devils problems, and Sarr’s mobility is a big part of their threat. With the Belgians expected to dominate possession, look for Sarr to be targeted as the outlet when Senegal counter. He’s going to have plenty of space to attack.

Tyler Adams to Commit 2+ Fouls (-190)

Tyler Adams had two fouls against Paraguay and one against Australia. Against the Aussies, Adams made four tackles and four interceptions. Charged with shielding the U.S.’s defense, he’s likely to be isolated on counterattacks when Bosnia and Herzegovina try to spring in transition.

The all-action midfielder is no stranger to a bit of physicality. He had eight yellows in 25 Premier League matches in 2025-26 and has averaged more than 1.5 fouls per match since swapping the Bundesliga for the Premier League.

Mikel Oyarzabal to Score Anytime Including Extra Time (-105)

Mikel Oyarzabal had 10 shots in his first 136 minutes at this World Cup. A quiet performance against Uruguay shouldn’t put bettors off backing the Real Sociedad man to find the net against Austria.

The Austrians conceded six in their three group matches, including three to Algeria. Spain’s attack hasn’t been as scintillating as it was in the Euros two summers ago, but Oyarzabal has still been getting enough chances to rank ahead of Lautaro Martinez in expected goals.

Petar Sucic to Commit 2+ Fouls (+105)

In Serie A, Petar Sucic averaged a yellow card every 354 minutes in 2025-26. The youngster committed four fouls in his first 118 minutes of World Cup action and should start this match after playing 90 minutes in the win over Ghana.

Unafraid of getting stuck in, Sucic might be playing in a more advanced midfield position, but that won’t stop him making tackles. Tasked with limiting the space for João Neves and Vitinha, Sucic is going to be a busy man in Croatia’s defensive effort.

Farès Chaïbi to Have 2+ Shots (+130)

Farès Chaïbi took multiple shots in each of Algeria’s group-stage matches. In and out of the Eintracht Frankfurt starting lineup, Chaïbi is generally utilized in a more advanced role by his national team.

No one has taken more shots for Algeria in this World Cup. Chaïbi is primarily known for his creative skills at club level, but his off-ball movement has been key for Algeria, making him into more of a play finisher.
