World Cup Prop Picks for Tuesday
Uzbekistan vs Portugal Prop Picks
As fate has seemingly paired Lionel Messi with Cristiano Ronaldo, it would seem almost unfair to the Portuguese striker for him to fail to join the scoring party and achieve a record of his own — the only player ever to score in six World Cups.
This is a bounce-back spot for Portugal and Ronaldo after a disappointing 1-1 draw with DR Congo in their debut match.
Uzbekistan was no match for Colombia, losing 3-1 and conceding six shots on goal.
Portugal is a much better squad and should have plenty of chances as both teams will be inclined to take more risks in their second group match.

Ghana vs England Prop Picks
A two-goal performance against Croatia, in the toughest matchup of this group, was an encouraging sign for Harry Kane, who's having a Ballon d'Or-worthy season.
As the main penalty taker and one of the top targets for crosses and corner kicks, Kane should have quite a few chances to add to his World Cup tally.
Ghana barely beat Panama, with fewer shots, shots on goal, possession percentage, passes, and accurate passes than their opponents. Today, they will probably play on the counter.
England will mostly play on Ghana's half of the pitch, and after taking eight corners vs. Croatia, expect them to rack up a similar number here.

Croatia vs Panama Prop Picks
Croatia conceded four goals to England, but Dominik Livakovic prevented an even bigger defeat with eight saves (not including the Kane penalty that had to be retaken).
Panama showed talent, aggressiveness, and a fighting spirit against Ghana, so expect them to challenge Livakovic today.
DR Congo vs Colombia Prop Picks
Following the trend of this World Cup, Congo made life difficult for a giant like Portugal, and Colombia enters this game as a favorite but with a clear warning.
Congo had eight shots, two on target, and one goal in their debut match, and while Colombia defends well, this high-stakes matchup will see lots of chances to score on both sides.
