PLISKOVA SET HANDICAP +1.5. Wimbledon continues with another strong matchup. In the second round, two former world No. 1 players meet as Iga Swiatek faces Karolina Pliskova. Can Iga continue her title defense, or will Karolina create an upset?Court speed: 8/10Karolina PliskovaKarolina is ranked No. 73 and is still pushing forward despite her age. The 34-year-old Czech player has found decent rhythm on grass this season, winning six of her eight matches. Across her career on this specific surface, Pliskova has won 66% of her matches, with a 75-39 record. In 2021, she reached the Wimbledon final before losing to Barty.P...

ITALY HANDICAP -3.5. The World Cup qualifying game day ends with Iceland vs Italy. Italy has won five straight games, but Iceland is exactly the kind of team that can disrupt that run. Its 81-76 win in the first meeting showed that. Can the visitors get revenge this time?Iceland Is Used to Competing With ItalyThis will be Iceland’s fifth game against Italy over the last four years. The matchup record during that stretch favors Iceland, which looks like a solid mid-level team in qualifying. The issue is consistency: in this World Cup qualifying campaign, Iceland has beaten Italy and Lithuania, but also managed t...

Bosnia & Herzegovina - Turkiye

TURKEY HANDICAP -9.5. The EuroBasket 2025 runner-up has had no major problems in World Cup qualifying so far. Turkey enters Round 5 with four wins, and Alperen Sengun has joined the squad for the final window of the first stage. Is he ready to make an impact for the national team again?Bosnia and Herzegovina Is Ready for SengunBosnia and Herzegovina, like Turkey, has already secured a place in the second round of 2027 World Cup qualifying. Two wins over Switzerland, the main outsider in the group, were enough: 84-60 and 91-60. July 2 should be a big day for Bosnian fans. First, the national soccer team faces the...

SERBIA HANDICAP -21.5. Switzerland has had a difficult draw in World Cup qualifying, landing in a group with Turkey, Serbia, and Bosnia. Reaching the second round is no longer realistic: Switzerland has lost every game and is a clear underdog even at home against Serbia. Will Jokic and company make this a straightforward win?Switzerland Has Been OvermatchedThe only qualifying game in which Switzerland avoided a 24+ point defeat was the first meeting with Serbia, which it lost 90-86. The outsider in European qualifying competed well in that game, but Serbia’s roster was very different from the one it brings now. S...

Portugal - Montenegro
115
MONTENEGRO TO WIN. Portugal kept the July window interesting by losing to Romania in Round 4 of 2027 World Cup qualifying, 96-101. The hosts still hope to reach the World Cup for the first time, but there is work to do. Can they handle a stubborn Montenegro team?Portugal No Longer Looks Like an Easy OpponentPortuguese basketball is improving. The hosts have enough talent, with Williams and Brito becoming real leaders for this national team. Still, it will be difficult for Portugal to become even a stable mid-level European side. The short rotation remains a problem, which is why even outsiders like Romania ca...

Spain - Denmark

DENMARK HANDICAP +21.5. Despite losing all four games so far, Denmark still has a mathematical chance to advance from the group. But it is only mathematical. The outsider in the group needs to beat Spain by 10+ points and then defeat Ukraine by 18+ points. Will Spain officially end Denmark’s chances here?Spain Has Had No Major Problems in 2027 World Cup QualifyingThe first round of World Cup qualifying has looked like a warm-up for Spain. The hosts have won all four games by double digits, so even the long domestic final series between Barcelona and Valencia is unlikely to become a major issue. Chus Mateo will pro...

Romania - Greece

GREECE HANDICAP -9.5. Romania surprised Portugal in Round 4, winning 101-96 and keeping its chances alive in World Cup qualifying. Next comes a difficult matchup against Greece, which beat Romania comfortably in the first meeting, 91-64. Can home court help the hosts stay competitive?Romania Still Hopes to Reach the Second Qualifying RoundRomania, led by Russell, is still in the race. Daron has been carrying one of the group outsiders, averaging 16.3 points per game in qualifying. The Cluj-Napoca guard had an excellent season and will try to help the national team in the remaining games against Greece and Monten...

Lithuania - Great Britain

LITHUANIA HANDICAP -17.5. European qualifying for the 2027 World Cup is back. Even Great Britain, the outsider in Group D, still has a chance to reach the next round. Lithuania can secure its place with a win in this matchup. Will it get the job done?Lithuania Has Struggled Late in GamesLithuania has already lost twice in the group stage, falling to Iceland (85-86) and Italy (81-82). In both games, the hosts of this matchup were favored by the bookmakers, but they failed to close out tight finishes. Matas Buzelis should help with that. He is set to make his senior national team debut after an excellent season with C...

GEORGIA HANDICAP +3.5. Ukraine is ahead of Georgia in the Group A standings, but the nominal host has not officially secured a place in the second round of World Cup qualifying yet. Denmark can still catch Ukraine in theory, though that scenario looks unlikely.Ukraine Is Close to Securing the Next RoundUkraine started qualifying with two wins, beating Georgia 92-79 and Denmark 88-71. Those results were followed by two losses to Spain, the clear favorite in the group, 66-86 and 64-78. Ainars Bagatskis’ team is not ready to compete with Europe’s top sides, but it should still reach the second stage of qualifying. D...

Team Canada-Oceania - Team USA-Oceania
TEAM CANADA-OCEANIA TO WIN.
The 2026 Hockey Classic between Canada and the United States is traditionally played with the intensity of a North American rivalry. This year’s rosters, however, are very different from regular national teams. There are no NHL stars, and both sides are built mainly around players from Australian and New Zealand hockey leagues, as well as the ECHL, SPHL, and FPHL. That makes roster depth and chemistry more important than name recognition.Team Canada-OceaniaCanada’s roster looks more balanced across almost every line. It includes several players with experience in the ECHL and SPHL, as well ...

Spain - Austria

SPAIN HANDICAP -1.5. Spain is one of the top three favorites to win the 2026 World Cup. Still, since its 2010 title, Spain has not won a knockout match at the last three World Cups. Yamal and company will try to end that run in the round of 32 against Austria. The draw is manageable, as the opponent is clearly below Spain’s level.De la Fuente’s Control-Based SystemSpain failed to break down Cape Verde’s low block in its opening match. That result did not turn into a group-stage problem, as wins over Saudi Arabia (4-0) and Uruguay (1-0) secured first place in Group H. Spain scored five goals from 5.33 total xG, ...

USA - Bosnia & Herzegovina

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA HANDICAP +1.5. The United States reached the knockout stage of its home World Cup as expected, and it will not face a top-tier opponent before the quarterfinals. Still, matches against European teams have often been difficult for the USA. Whether that changes against a disciplined Bosnia and Herzegovina side, making its first appearance in the knockout stage, is a real question.USA Is Not as Heavy a Favorite as It LooksThe USA finished first in its group with six points, but the scorelines made the wins look more comfortable than they were. Against Paraguay (4-1) and Australia (2-0), the hosts scored six ...

BORGES HANDICAP +8.5. Jannik Sinner continues his Wimbledon title defense. In the first round against Kecmanovic, he dropped almost as many sets (2) as he did during his entire title run last year (3). Can Nuno Borges also make the world No. 1 work for the win?Court speed: 8/10Jannik SinnerJannik looked almost flawless until mid-May. He won five titles at Masters 1000 events and secured the No. 1 spot in the world ranking. But at the French Open, he unexpectedly struggled and lost to Francisco Cerundolo in the second round. On grass in 2026, he has played only two matches: an exhibition against Norrie at Hurling...

TSITSIPAS HANDICAP +6.5. The second round at Wimbledon brings a matchup with plenty of background. Stefanos Tsitsipas, who recently ended his coaching partnership with his father and started a new setup, faces seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic. The Serbian remains the favorite, but his first-round match was not straightforward. Can Tsitsipas make this competitive against one of the best players in tennis history?Court speed: 8/10Stefanos TsitsipasTsitsipas enters this match after making a major change to his team.

AUGER-ALIASSIME TO WIN 3-0. Felix Auger-Aliassime will try to improve his recent Wimbledon record. Since 2022, he has not made it past the second round at the grass-court Grand Slam. His next opponent is Dino Prizmic. The Croatian had a strong clay-court stretch, but he has very limited experience on grass, with fewer than 10 tour-level matches on the surface. Can the world No. 4 reach the round of 32 in London?Court speed: 8/10Felix Auger-AliassimeIn 2026, Felix won the indoor title in Montpellier and reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros.

LAS VEGAS TO WIN. New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces will decide the Commissioner’s Cup title. Last season, Indiana won the trophy after beating Minnesota 74-59 in a low-scoring final. This matchup has more offensive upside, but the game script may still be controlled by pressure and defense.New York LibertyNew York enters the title game in poor form. One of the main championship contenders has lost four of its last five games and does not look as convincing as expected. The Liberty have been beatable, and not only against the top teams in the league. Even lower-table opponents such as Seattle have shown th...

SENEGAL TO AVOID DEFEAT. Senegal has not advanced past the first knockout round since 2002, when current manager Pape Thiaw was still playing for the national team. This time, the opponent is Belgium, a top-10 team in the FIFA ranking. Still, Belgium’s third-place finish at the 2018 World Cup remains its only major achievement of the 21st century. The winner of this matchup is likely to face the United States in the round of 16, unless Bosnia and Herzegovina pulls off an upset.Belgium Still Struggles Against Low BlocksDespite entering Group G as the clear favorite, Belgium secured its place in the knockout round on...

DR CONGO HANDICAP +1.5. England finished first in its group, but the team’s pragmatic style has raised questions. Now the favorite faces one of the tournament’s biggest surprises. DR Congo, which played as Zaire in 1974, is back at the World Cup for the first time in 52 years and has reached the round of 32 right away. England has the stronger individual talent. DR Congo has structure, continuity, and a clear plan.England Has a Hidden Balance IssueEngland’s group win was not as convincing as expected.

MEXICO TO WIN. Mexico had a perfect group stage, but that matters less now. The knockout round begins. In the round of 32, one of the tournament hosts faces Ecuador, which reached the playoffs after beating four-time world champion Germany 2-1. This should be a tense, tactical match at a packed Azteca Stadium.Mexico Looks Well PreparedMexico did more than finish first in its group with a perfect record. For the first time since 1986, it completed three straight World Cup matches without conceding a goal.

FRANCE HANDICAP -1.5. France is chasing its third World Cup title. Didier Deschamps’ side handled the group stage with ease and now faces Sweden in the knockout round. Sweden has enough quality up front to create chances, but its weakened defense looks vulnerable against Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and France’s attacking depth.France Has Been One of the Most Complete Teams at the World CupFrance had a perfect group stage, beating Senegal 3-1, Iraq 3-0, and Norway 4-1 to finish first.
