World Cup Quarter Finals Betting Predictions

Portugal vs. Morocco Pick: Portugal Moneyline | -140 at DraftKings

Saturday, Dec. 10 | 10 a.m. ET

A David versus Goliath matchup of star-studded Portugal against the Cinderella African side is ready to kickoff. If you are out there claiming to have Morocco going this far in your bracket, I would have to call you a liar. Morocco was not selected by most in the world to make it out of the group but here they are after victories against Belgium, Canada and a penalty shootout win vs Spain.

Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea) and Noussair Mazraoui (Bayern) have lead this club to some impressive wins but they are going to need to go all out if they want to continue. Portugal lives for drama on and off the pitch. Ronaldo being benched for the Swiss match stole the headlines away from a very dominating performance from the Portugal side.

Young star Goncalo Ramos (Benfica) stole the show with a hat trick in his first start of the tournament. Top to bottom and with or without Ronaldo, this Portuguese side will be too much for Morocco to handle on the defensive side. I can easily see Portugal scoring 2-3 goals with the firepower they have available.  

England vs. France Pick: France to Advance | -125 at DraftKings

Saturday, Dec. 10 | 2 p.m. ET

This is the matchup that every fan in the world wanted to see. The lineups on both sides would rival any all-star matchup. Kane, Coman, Sterling, Griezmann and of course Mbappe all take center stage for this elimination match.

It is going to be very hard to cap this match because of the star power on both sides. At any moment, a world class player could rise up and put their name into the history books. I believe that person is going to be Mbappe, just like so many other times.

Mbappe and this France side has faced a more difficult road. The French were able to overcome Poland in a dominating performance to make it this far. I can see France starting off the match fast and trying to grab an early goal.

This English side has not faced anyone with the talent that France has. Senegal, Iran, USA and Wales could combine teams and not have the same talent as this French side. In the end, I love Mbappe and the rest of France to be to much for this English side to handle.
