2022 World Cup: Wales vs. England odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Wales vs. England odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

England (1 win, 0 losses, 1 draw) battles Wales at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium Tuesday with kickoff for the Group B group match set for 2 p.m. ET (FS1) Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wales vs. England odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

England isn’t quite through to the next round, but they basically are. With a 4-goal differential, worst-case scenario assuming they don’t get destroyed by Wales is a 2nd-place finish in the group. By destroy, they would need to lose to Wales by at least 3.

England has looked like the group’s best team, but did struggle against USA in their 2nd match with 2 fewer shots in the 0-0 draw. England beat Iran 6-2 in their World Cup opener with F Bukayo Saka scoring twice. They are flush with top EPL talent.

As for Wales, F Gareth Bale is the renown leader, but he is aging and has struggled. Nice F Aaron Ramsey is the vice captain and plays an important role as well. They allowed 21 shots to Iran and lost 2-0 after drawing USA 1-1 with a Bale penalty-kick goal evening that battle.

Prediction

England 3, Wales 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s just no value here. Wales hasn’t shown enough to even consider a draw. It scored a penalty kick in 1 game and allowed 2 and 21 shots to an inferior side in another.

England cannot quite take their foot off the gas, especially considering they should want the No. 1 spot in the group. They will more than likely come out on top, but at (-220), there’s not much value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+100).

England scored 6 against Iran and had 8 shots and 3 shots on target against a solid USA backline that has quick wing backs. Wales isn’t as deep and should be exhausted.

England will have better finishing than Iran and should net at least 3 if they can get an equal 21 shots. Players like Saka and F Raheem Sterling will be too much for Wales to handle, as they were Iran.

Wales has a few quality forwards in F Daniel James as well, and when England went up big on Iran, they didn’t keep the pressure on. That could repeat itself against Wales.

2022 World Cup: Wales vs. Iran odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Wales vs. Iran odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In Group B action, Wales (0 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) and Iran (0-1-0) open Friday’s World Cup action with kickoff from Ahmad bin Ali Stadium set for 5 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wales vs. Iran odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Wales’ World Cup opener vs. USA ended in a 1-1 draw Monday as F Gareth Bale scored from the penalty spot late in the 2nd half. Wales had 41% of possession but held USA to just 1 shot on target.

Wales has the 2nd-best odds to win Group B at +900, behind England at -699.

Iran lost 6-2 vs. England in its World Cup opener Monday. F Mehdi Taremi scored both goals for Iran, including a stoppage-time penalty. Iran had just 22% of possession and 3 shots on target.

Iran has the worst odds to win Group B at +10000 (bet $100 to win $10,000).

Prediction

Wales 1, Iran 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+220).

Wales has the more talented squad, but Iran should bounce back defensively after allowing England to tie its record for most goals in a FIFA World Cup match (6). I don’t like Iran to win, but a low-scoring, physical match should help Iran earn an important point in Group B.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-170).

After allowing 6 goals vs. England Monday, Iran should tighten up defensively to avoid another embarrassing loss. While USA is a tougher opponent than Iran, I expect this match to be low scoring and look very similar to Wales’ World Cup opener Monday.

World Cup group stage: USA vs Wales odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s USA vs Wales odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In the 2nd Group B group stage match Monday, the Team USA will take on Wales with kickoff at Al Rayyan set for 2 p.m. ET (FOX) . Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the USA vs. Wales odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Earlier Monday, England will take on Iran to help commence Group B action. As for this game, USA is ranked No. 16 and Wales is No. 19.

Wales is led by F Gareth Bale, who joined MLS side LAFC in the middle of the season. F Daniel James and M Aaron Ramsey are 2 other names to keep an eye on. Wales is just 2-5-2 in 2022.

As for the USMNT, it has elected M Tyler Adams to be its captain, but F Christian Pulisic, who plays for Chelsea, is undoubtedly the team’s most dynamic attacker.

USA is 5-4-3 in 2022. Arsenal backup GK Matt Turner will likely get the start with M Weston McKennie being another impactful name to watch.

Prediction

USA 1, Wales 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN USA (+155).

The United States is playing better than Wales, which lost 4 of 5 in Nations League play leading up to the World Cup. Bale didn’t work in well with LAFC and showed his age and pace.

He may not be as much a factor as many think. While Wales is deeper than just Bale, the top-level talent with the USA behind Pulisic and McKennie is better.

USA also has key defenders in D Tim Ream, who was playing at a high level for a mid-table EPL side prior to the World Cup. USA’s talent at all levels should be too much for Wales.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-170).

This is the preferred play, but the value obviously isn’t there at -170. But USA has gone Under 2.5 goals in 3 straight matches and in 8 of the 12 so far this season.

Wales has gone Under this total in 5 of 9. Excluding a 5-0 win over Grenada, the US scored just 1 goal in its last 4 matches.

USA just hasn’t been able to consistently put the ball in the back of the net, but considering it has given up just 3 in its 6 games, its defense has been just as solid.

Back UNDER 2.5 (-170), but truly consider the USA moneyline more for the value.

Euro 2020: Denmark vs. Wales odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Denmark vs. Wales odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

The Euro 2020 knockout round is officially upon us. To kick off the Round of 16, Denmark faces Wales Saturday at noon ET at Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Below, we preview the Denmark vs. Wales odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

Denmark and Wales are 10th and 17th, respectively, in the FIFA World Rankings.

Wales, led by aging F Gareth Bale, is coming off a 1-0 loss to Italy Sunday. It received a red card in the match, but that was after Italy scored its goal. Wales scored just 3 goals over its first three games but the defense has been terrific with just 2 goals allowed in the group stage.

Denmark sadly made the news when MF Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field in the nation’s first game of the tournament. After failing to score in that game, Denmark scored 5 goals in its next two matches. It destroyed Russia and held a lead against tourney-favorite Belgium.

Prediction

Denmark 1, Wales 0

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as Denmark (-250) is just too pricey. While I fully expect Denmark to win, it is not worth that price as both teams are relatively equally matched, especially without Eriksen on the pitch.

Now, to win in regulation, you can get DENMARK (-110) as a solid value. It’s the better side but only marginally.

In non-Belgium games, Denmark had 16 shots on target compared to its opponent’s 3. The Danes found the back of the net often against Russia, and showed their dominance.

While Wales has also played well, it hasn’t shown quite as much, winning in gritty, defensive matches. It was outshot by both Switzerland and Turkey and Bale has yet to score in the tournament.

DENMARK (-110) on the 90-minute line is the best money line play.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the UNDER 1.5 (+140), as Wales defense is strong while its offense struggles.

At the same time, Denmark’s numbers are a bit inflated. It scored 5 in the group stage but 4 were against Russia, a team that also gave up a 3-goal game to Belgium.

Eriksen was Denmark’s best scoring and distributing option. Despite scoring 5 times, it didn’t have a single goal scorer with more than 2 tallies. F Yussuf Poulsen, who plays club at Leipzig, leads the team with 2 goals.

If Wales continues its trend of shutting down opponents, or at least making chances difficult to come by, I’d expect a low-scoring game. Both teams have some explosive nature but haven’t been able to fully harness it.

This plus-money bet is the best value in Denmark-Wales.
