2026 FIFA World Cup: Best bets for Argentina vs Egypt and Switzerland vs Colombia
There are just two spots left in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter finals, meaning by the end of play on Tuesday, the final eight lineup will be complete.
Argentina are strong favourites to overcome Egypt in the day's first clash (5pm BST), with Lionel Messi looking to further bolster his Golden Boot claims in the process. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner is locked on seven goals alongside Kylain Mbappe and Erling Haaland, having played one game less than that duo.
The final last 16 clash, scheduled for 9pm BST, is a much tighter-priced contest as Switzerland take on Colombia.
The South Americans are narrow favourites to progress but will face a tough examination from the Swiss, who appear to be growing into the tournament with impressive wins over Canada and Algeria in their last two outings.
The bookmakers have Argentina and Colombia as the most likely winners of Tuesday's ties, but what does our expert think? Odds Now's seasoned tipster and Head of Content Matt Hill flew solo on our latest World Cup Daily Betting Show podcast with his picks for both games.
