World Cup last-16 betting preview favours Argentina, Colombia and corners markets

Fox News · 3 months ago

This OutKick/Fox News piece is a betting-focused preview of the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, published the day after the United States were knocked out with a 4-1 defeat to Belgium at their home tournament. The article frames the US exit as a step forward but a reminder that the team remains a level below the leading nations, before turning to the games still to come, with France already through and Argentina among the favourites yet to play.

The writer's main tip centres on Argentina's tie against Egypt, recommending the over 8.5 corners market on the expectation that Argentina will attack heavily while a well-organised Egypt defends and blocks. It notes both sides remain unbeaten: Argentina progressed via wins over Algeria (3-0), Austria (2-0) and Jordan (3-1) and a tight 3-2 victory over Cape Verde, while Egypt drew with Belgium and Iran, beat New Zealand 3-1, and edged Australia on penalties. The headline also flags Colombia and corners markets as favoured picks across the round.
