Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Most World Cup knockout stage bets apply only to regulation time, excluding extra time and penalty shootouts, though some sportsbooks now offer bets including extra time.
- Bets on a team "to advance" or "to qualify" cover all methods of progressing, including regulation, extra time, and penalties.
- South Africa is favored on a double chance against Canada due to Canada's injury concerns and lack of home-field advantage in Los Angeles.
- Japan is considered a strong contender against Brazil, with confidence in Japan to at least push the match to extra time based on their recent performances.
- The Netherlands vs. Morocco match is expected to be high-scoring, with a recommendation to bet on over 2.5 goals due to both teams' attacking styles.
- The U.S. is favored to score in the first half against Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a suggested bet on the U.S. to lead at halftime based on their strong first-half scoring record.
