England (-1.5) vs. DR Congo (-115)
"England have shown flashes of attacking brilliance during this tournament," SportsLine soccer expert Martin Green said. "They beat Croatia 4-2, drew 0-0 with Ghana, and then beat Panama 2-0. That means they've covered a 1.5-goal spread in two out of three games so far. They also covered a 1.5-goal spread in seven of their eight World Cup qualifiers. Going back further, The Three Lions have covered a 1.5-goal spread in 12 of their last 14 competitive matches. They have enough firepower to beat DR Congo, as Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane are in fine form right now, and they really should win this game comfortably."

Belgium vs. Senegal: Over 2.5 total goals (-105)
"I'm backing the Over in this match, even if there is some hesitation because Belgium have not been great," SportsLine soccer expert Brad Thomas said. "Both sides have really struggled defensively, and that opens the door for goals. Senegal's defense is not as strong as it has been in years past, but their attack, led by Ismaila Sarr, is still dangerous. They also showed their depth last match with Pape Gueye coming off the bench and scoring a brace. Belgium can still win one-on-one battles in attack, and when Romelu Lukaku is on the pitch, they have a true target man. Kevin De Bruyne is drinking from the fountain of youth this tournament, and I expect him to keep dazzling. It's the Over for me."

"This game will take place in San Francisco, and home advantage could be crucial for Team USA," Green said. "Mauricio Pochettino's men beat Paraguay 4-1 and Australia 2-0 in their first two group stage games, before resting a bunch of players in a meaningless 3-2 defeat to Türkiye. Their star players will now be fresh for this game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnians drew 1-1 with Canada, lost 4-1 to Switzerland, and beat Qatar 3-1 in the group stage, but this will be their toughest test so far."
