To maximize the experience, Fallica shares his strategic approach to wagering for Day 2 of the world’s premier football tournament.

World Cup Best Bets — Friday, June 12

United States vs. Paraguay
A low-scoring affair is expected here, particularly with Paraguay missing their primary offensive threat, Julio Enciso. Paraguay is likely to employ a defensive “park-the-bus” strategy, a tactic that helped them concede only 10 goals across 18 qualifying matches. While a set piece could potentially breach a vulnerable U.S. defense, Paraguay’s primary goal will be to secure at least a point. The U.S. faces immense pressure as a host nation, and their recent form in major competitions has been lackluster, netting only six goals in seven matches across their last two World Cup and Copa América appearances. Expect a scoreless first half followed by a tense, uneasy second half.

Canada vs. Bosnia
A conservative “double chance” play is the move here, though a Bosnian victory is a distinct possibility. Canada is currently hampered by significant injuries, missing key players Alphonso Davies and Moise Bambino, while Jonathan David and Cyle Larin have struggled for consistency. While Italy was the expected participant in this slot, Bosnia arrives with high confidence and a plan to make this a physically demanding 90 minutes for Canada in Toronto. Expect Bosnia to secure at least a draw.
