This article is part of our World Cup series.
Argentina headline the day, but Denmark against France may be just as interesting in their third meeting this year. Meanwhile, Tunisia and Poland see themselves as favorites in games they need to win if looking to advance.

Tunisia were unlucky not to beat Denmark in the opener and while they're favored versus Australia, I'm not sure the number is correct. It feels more like Tunisia should be closer to -120 or -130 and as of Friday, it was +120. With a win vital for both sides if either want any chance to advance, I think Tunisia are better across the pitch, no matter who starts for them. Sure, maybe I'm basing a lot of this off one game against Denmark, but I already rated Australia as one of the worst teams in the tournament before things started.
World Cup Best Bets for Poland versus Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia to have more corners than Poland +250
Poland will probably approach this match similar to their opener against Mexico because this one will decide their tournament. If they don't get three points here, they'll likely need something from Argentina, something they aren't counting on. While Saudi Arabia pulled off the upset against Argentina, this game could go differently as Poland aren't a team that want to dominate possession, playing more off the counter.
Because of that, nothing really stands out for either side unless you feel good about Poland -130 to win. Under 4.5 corners in the first half is -170 so I can't touch that. Instead, I'll take a similar bet to the one I won with Iran on Thursday and back Saudi Arabia to have more corners at +260. Poland don't play with a ton of possession and as long as Saudi Arabia don't get an early goal, I think they could have more opportunities for corners.
World Cup Best Bets for Denmark versus France
Denmark double chance against France +115
Unlike a lot of these matchups, France and Denmark have seen a decent amount of each other, already playing twice this year because of UEFA Nations League. Denmark won both games, 2-0 and then 2-1, with both teams using fairly strong starting XIs. Not many will be on Denmark because of how their World Cup openers looked and the Thomas Delaney injury hurts, but this is a much different matchup for France than the Australia game.
I think it's wild that Denmark double chance is +115. Again, they already beat France twice this year. Sure, maybe Kylian Mbappe goes crazy against a slower back three for Denmark, but that's yet to be the case between these teams. I'm still not sure France have the quality to truly control a match and I think Denmark have enough to get at least another point.

World Cup Best Bets for Argentina versus Mexico
Over 2.5 goals between Argentina and Mexico -105
Argentina players are calling this a must-win match and while that technically isn't the case for them to advance, it's still important. The question is how this match will play out because Mexico prefer to play with possession and Argentina's mind set doesn't support that happening. So, if Argentina are attacking from the start, will Mexico be able to score off the counter?
I think with Argentina pushing to win and score, that will open up the match and I'm not sold on them keeping Mexico out if they go up a goal. I don't think they'll want to sit back and play for a 1-0 win because that's not an ideal strategy for a team needing to win. So let's go goals and take over 2.5 at -105.
