Defending champions Argentina can reach the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals if they get past Egypt on Tuesday, while Colombia and Switzerland meet in a contest which could see the winner meeting the holders at the last-eight stage.We have a trio of selections which make up our best bets of the day.Treble your returns + £20 in free betsTuesday football tipsBet of the Day – Over 2.5 goals in Argentina v Egypt @ 20/21Argentina almost fell to an almighty shock against Cape Verde at the last-32 stage of the World Cup, but a Diney Borges own goal saw the defending champions home 3-2 after extra-time.La Albiceleste created an expected goals figure of 2.26 against Cape Verde and Lionel Scaloni’s men looked in cruise control after Lionel Messi had given them a first-half lead.However, Argentina conceded 16 efforts on goal to the Blue Sharks and concerns over midfield protection and the Selection’s defence were realised.Egypt were taken to penalties by Australia and the Pharaohs do not rate as much of a step up on Cape Verde.However, Hossam Hassan can call on Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush in attack and there is enough threat there to suggest that Egypt could hurt Argentina’s suspect defence.At 20/21, backing over 2.5 goals in Atlanta rates the best bet on Tuesday’s World Cup coupon.Special of the Day – Both teams to score & Lionel Messi to score Argentina v Egypt bet builder @ 27/10Lionel Messi was once again Argentina’s star in their 3-2 extra-time win over Cape Verde and there is no sign of the 38-year-old letting up.The former Barcelona man has struck seven goals at the 2026 World Cup and had nine shots and six efforts on target in the last-32 tie with Cape Verde.Egypt can’t be considered a huge upgrade on the Blue Sharks and Australia were able to cause the Pharaohs plenty of problems in their 1-1 draw.However, Egypt have the star appeal in Mohamed Salah and Argentina conceded eight corners and 16 shots to Cape Verde.Backing Messi to score and both teams to score pays 27/10 in a bet builder.Longshot of the Day – Over 4.5 goals in Switzerland v Colombia @ 13/2Colombia have scored only one goal in their last two World Cup matches, against Portugal and Ghana, but Los Cafeteros have put up expected goal totals of 2.04 and 1.70 in those games.Switzerland have scored eight times in their last three matches in North America and the A-Team hit an xG of 2.45 in an excellent 2-0 last-32 victory over Algeria.The numbers suggest the goals could flow in a competitive last-16 contest and playing over 4.5 goals looks like a nice big-price punt.Treble your returns + £20 in free betsStay up to date with all the latest World Cup tips & predictions, World Cup Match Previews and all the best World Cup Betting Offers and Free Bets in our dedicated betting hubOdds correct at time of publish and subject to change.18+ New Customers only.
